Oh the critic

I am both bemused and amused and will claim confused
If, not also somewhat, decidedly, poetically excused.
When I rhyme with prescribed time of thoughts of mine
Why are there those who chime in with the critic’s line?
Of, “Too much formâ€, or “Poorly bornâ€, or “You need be warned,â€
That they would never conform to that which I’ve poetically adorned.
Every stanza must be just so, so they let me know, how a poem should go
And put up quite a show to lift them up and to leave me low
When, if the truth be known, these so called “know-itsâ€, really show it
Because the old famous poets never subscribed to their “you must do-its!â€
Poe’s was not Whitman’s style, and Ogden Nash’s short wiles, fill files
And Tennyson’s “Light Charge,†riles those who hate stanza miles.
So, I choose to lose those who refuse to honor my muse
And excuse those, who through ignorance, ego bruise
With pen in hand, and mind in ink, I think, to link
My imagined brink and write envisioned words in sync
To release this stuff, no matter how tough I am rebuffed
By those who know, just enough to share the critic’s bluff.

response:
Your rhyme is forced of course,
and your meter could be neater,
but your satire I do admire.
