Peter is reporting again

He is calling himself the best post in YAP again and when I disagreed he reported it.

Now he reports this old gem, an answer to Love Child:

After The Beginning of The End

He followed a shadow, to hear it 
his path crossed those with spirit 
Patches of light in the dog-eared vine 
Till he was giddy with muse's wine. 
The fakers threatened, the timid thrashed 
paranoia wound its circular cast; 
but a home it was nevertheless. 
Encouraged, inspired and blessed 
as music stirred insipid nights, 
it wasnt his, it wasnt right, 
so curtains fell, the play was done 
The middling spell became unspun 
The marching band refused to yield 
No rosy dawn was e'er revealed. 
Just a dead commercial site 
a fading smile and endless night.

This is about Yahoo Poetry becoming crap. Aside from the dastardly format, whom do we have to blame: good old Peter Benoit, report hound terrible poet and shifty friend to those foolish enough to befriend him.(Gene).

  1. What a shame. There is virtually NONE of the beauty and wonder in the poetry section today that there was back then. I do miss it but I have learned no to try to find it there again.
