5 minute poetry

Man...this was from a debate I had with my English teacher...I guess I don't like my poems 'corrected'

It seems that another 'poet' has taken the stand
To show the whole world one way poems are grand
That's great, it seems that you miss out on how to think
Your reputation as a poet is now tottering on the brink
One voice you say? Only one way of speech?
Do us a favor, get off that box from where you preach.
You idle around and then give us this.
What signals of your fraility did you just miss?
Putting yourself above all the rest
I mean, why hide? You are the best!
Or so it seems that you really don't see.
The ripples that you cause in this tranquility.
Poems once again are about what to feel.
Putting in emotions is what makes it all real!
Yes they are angry, yes they indeed do hurt
But with complete arrogance you do indeed flirt.
So some poems aren't great, yay, so what?
Attitudes like this are what don't make the cut.
