Portrait of Poet Verses the Critic

Giaconda Belli read poems from a Tank
in the Nicaraguan Revolution
or one of her Poetas Hermanas,
Claribel Alegria, a Remarkable Woman
....How Sandy loved her over at Curbstone.
Cordially, as Poets love Each nother,
those Critics...what do They Know? ALl they care
about is Who slept with Whom for a Night
for they view their Objects as Love--Carnate
and ERotic. I AM! (Love of Selves they Lack)
And with Reason for they are Self-Supplied
narcissists who hate Rhyme. ABC's they
Employ as does a Flyswatter, Killers of Thought.
A Poet is wise who Immunizes her Verse.
