Nonsense.  You quoted a poem but made no comments regarding it.  You
were too busy talking about yourself.

How about a do-over?  Why not post the poem again, avoid any reference
to yourself, instead commenting on the poem's significance?  Are you
able to produce a post that isn't about yourself, or yourself whinging
about the world, or yourself whinging about how the world treats you?

Here's a starter for you:  Poems about pets are inane.
