The Better Man
by Michael R. Burch

Dear Ed: I don’t understand why
you will publish this other guy—
when I’m brilliant, devoted,
one hell of a poet!
Yet you publish Anonymous. Fie!

Fie! A pox on your head if you favor
this poet who’s dubious, unsavour-
y, inconsistent in texts,
no address (I checked!):
since he’s plagiarized Unknown, I’ll wager!

I don't "publish" anyone. The site itself accepts anonymous postings from guests. I can't stop them. But I CAN delete them if you point the way....

PS I don't really see this as a poem in its own right so I will see if I can transfer it to a comment area. UMMMM> It appears I can't, but I COULD edit it to get rid of all those horrid exclamation marks. But being sweet by nature, I won't.
