I see no purpose in your poem One commenter told me That it somehow fell short He just had to scold me But that’s just the way I meant to Leave the Reader wanting more Not to mend a broken heart Heal the sick or feed the poor Or split apart an atom Cause the sun to set or rise Maybe yes, maybe no Win a Pulitzer Prize? My poems tell a story In an epic or a wisp Stands alone all on its own Not conforming to your list So I see no purpose in your comment And just need to tell you That poem of 17 syllables? It’s a simple Haiku

This was not someone on HP, but he taught me to think before I critique anyone's work.
