You Are Not A Good Writer — A Reverse Poetry
Who says you’re a good writer?
You are not a good writer
Do not believe when people say that
You have the gift of wielding words to produce a colorful tapestry.
Painting mental pictures using letters is a unique knack and
You do not possess it.
If you think you have the skill to waste people’s time, now I am telling you —
You’re definitely right.
When you say you have the power to blow people away with your metaphors,
That’s a lie.
We all know the truth —
you are weak and boring,
that your works are nothing but scraps.
It’s never right to say
You are a brilliant author and you are worthy.
Now, read each line from bottom to top.
