Planting Bitter Crops

from JoeUser Forums
I descend
Under condescension
Broken-eyed
And watering a storm
You defend
An untenable position
Sowing bitterness
Like seeded corn

I decline
A callous invitation
Into arguments
You’ve angrily drawn
Instead suggesting
Self-copulation
If you could find
A bone to be worn

Wow, bitter is right!

Boy, have I heard THAT before -although a little more crudely put.

I don't know where it came from as I am not the slightest bit bitter about anything. Isn't it marvellous the way our subconciousness works?

There are many ways to say it, but I still think the most effective is probably the crudest.

Good work, mate.

I know how you feel but there's no way I could say it as well as you just did.

Ah, yes, poetic licence often leaves a lot unsaid and not understood but in this case, I think I got it right. Glad you liked it, mate.
