After the sting of criticism from a former love, a rebuttal puts things into perspective.

Erica

After Erica ripped my poetry apart,
I fired back with facts, not art:


She snores like a chainsaw in need of oil,
Eats like a hog with zero toil.


No makeup? The wolf-mans alive,
Her dance moves? A seizure that shivers and jives.


Criticism stings, but revenge tastes sweet,
Especially when her flaws are this easy to tweet.


Lines: Eight
Prompt: Author a poem about criticism..
