To find all the poems about the Queen, too much?

[Cats23]

I've seen several now, I understand some will like them but I just feel it's all a bit OTT!
Here is the latest one I've seen...

Hideous , smaltzy nonsense. So undignified . Wonder what she would think ?

If you find them too much. Why post one on here.

I agree. And that awful one in particular which is full of punctuation and spelling mistakes. 'Phillip' not 'Philip', 'King's and Queen's' instead of 'Kings and Queens' and 'Monarch's' instead of 'Monarchs'. If you're going to write a poem, check your spelling and grammar fgs!

you find all the poems about the Queen a bit much then proceed to share another one.

riiight.

maybe get offline for a bit?

At least that one seems to scan.

I agree, I find them mawkish and stupid. Also cringe.

They are all quite twee, it's like Rainbow Bridge about the family pet

Meh, people deal with things in different ways.
I don't personally like them or share them but it doesn't bother me that people do.

I mean they are just shite poems

Just don’t look at them?

@Cats23

Oh let's just give all the posters yet another chance to whinge. 🙄🙄🙄

I agree.
Also why is Paddington Bear featuring so heavily? He seems to have taken the job of grim reaper. Was she particularly fond of him or are people just latching onto that one CIN sketch?

And the corgis taking her over rainbow bridge, wtf, do they think she's gone to some sort of doggy heaven?

I've come off fb for a couple of weeks now.

@Savingpeoplehuntingthings it wasn't a CIN sketch with Paddington, it was part of her jubilee celebrations. Supposedly she did it for her great grandchildren

People just want to be important, so keep writing this trite. Aiming to be like the PB artist who was at least talented.
Plus loads of people apparently have never read an actual poem so there's that.

I have realised I hate poetry

Shmaltzy stuff like this is highly likely to be Nationwide’s next advertising campaign

Made my skin crawl.

I haven’t seen one yet that’s spelled Philip correctly. I don’t like them, but wouldn’t dream of telling someone else not to post them if they do.

YANBU, they are excruciating.

I think @OneFrenchEgg is right that lots of people haven’t actually read any poetry and believe that the verses inside greetings cards are examples of poetry.

And yes, the one about Philip with all the errors is particularly cringe-making.

I've only come across, two, this is the second one (haven't read it). How is it that you're coming across so many?

Not everyone has the same appreciation of writing styles, but doubtless this is someone's attempt at capturing something that's meaningful for them. Why should that bother anyone else?

Your post made me laugh. Paddington as Grim Reaper😂

Would you say that about brown or black women or are you only racist towards white ones?

Hate these kind of twee poems, they’re in the same league as wedding gift poems, so utterly cringeworthy.

@ShirleyPhallus

You didn’t realise you hate poetry from stuff like this. This is just shite.

It’s like seeing someone’s granny’s insipid watercolour and saying you hate art.

I and not saying people shouldn’t paint and right poems by the way, it’s a nice thing to do, just that most amateur efforts aren’t designed for public consumption

Don't read them! I haven't read any. It's an easy thing not to do!

@Ahf22

Hardly racist when it's descriptive.

I've never seen a fellow black woman partake in this misery olympics currently being played out.

It's a bit WI
