POETS.ORG & POETS.NET (Poem)


Two websites stood in my view:
Poets.org and poets.net.
Good poetry websites are few,
But one thing I knew:
I wasn't going to be a moderator's pet.

Poets.org looked cute
With its modern poetry quotes,
But I chose the other route—
For poets.net was more astute,
And poets at each others' throats.

Poets.org was unctuous and dull
And high on pretence,
While poets.net was affable
While seeing through po-biz bull—
And that made all the difference.
