Analysis of Not My Cup of Tea
They are critical in thought
well learned, barely taught
scanning poems to debate
reading readily to hate
self proclaim and disdained
self mained and not ordained
surely not critically acclaimed
insignificant and shamed
itching to create an enemy
stating its that type of poetry
while sipping it religiously
this is not my cup of tea
My question is a seed
why feed and why read
what causes your tongue to bleed
while your heart grows weed
