Dear Kid,

Haughty is as haughty does and you express it very well here. A structured poem that you write quite well, ending with the theme you set.

Warm regards,

Winslow

Great rictameter, Sue. Great subject and message. I love how you've constructed the words and it flows very well.

Warm regards.

I try to avoid such anomalies because we just do not seem to be able to inhabit the same space and it doesn't take long for the atmosphere to chill and people become uncomfortable, I'm normally not one of the uncomfortable ones may I add. Excellent word choices to describe the annoying traits of these individuals. They probably find me just as annoying in there minds though!
Your becoming obsessed with these rictameters, you are!

    Pains in the ass, they are. Annoying more than anything. Although, some (especially the youth) can be made to feel very bad. Me? Obsessed? Okay...I give. I will be writing a few more and going to make it a them on human virtues and attributes (the positive side). Thanks for your review, Hitch.... :-) Sue

"High and Mighty" is a well assembled poem perfectly written. Although the poem looks like a challenge, you make it look easy. Well done!

very nice idea in your poem of "haughty" once again your defining words do the job well, capturing "High and Mighty" very nicely done.

    Emotional Soldier, thank you very much for your very kind review and compliments. With regards, Sue :-))

    good one, but you used the same word twice, ... that's a no -no :-)
reply by the author on 02-Feb-2009
    Definitely a "no-no" except for this rictameter form where it's required. But, thanks for the little reminder just in case I did screw up! Thanks :-))
reply by VICTIMEYES on 02-Feb-2009
    not the word haughty ...

    "security"

    that is a no-no :-)
reply by VICTIMEYES on 02-Feb-2009
    not the word haughty ...

    i mean "superior"

    that is a no-no :-)
reply by the author on 02-Feb-2009
    OMG! I DID screw up! Thank you SO much. How can I have such a small poem and not see it? I really appreciate your highlighting that. Consider it gone! Now, the trick is to find the right word. Again...thanks!

    Replaced it with "elevated" - You saved my poem!
reply by VICTIMEYES on 02-Feb-2009
    you should also switch elevated with superior

    at least i think it's more powerful that way, but who knows, i don't wanna be haughty in my examination :-)
reply by the author on 02-Feb-2009
    Ha! I was debating the same thing. Will consider it from your point that it may make it more powerful..... ("geez, how haughty is that guy...the nerve")

you've certainly nailed that unfortunate character trait - some great word choices condescending rude disdainful - and in fine rictameter form complete with insightful reasons for the behavior!

    I was considering writing a few of these rics on virtues, attributes and even the negatives. Ran into someone like this recently. Could not believe the "haughtiness"...was nauseating. LOL!! Thanks for your review, Brooke. Now...have you thought about your homework assigment? HA! Sue
reply by adewpearl on 01-Feb-2009
    yeah, I thought about it and nearly lost my dinner - those things make me nervous - all the rules!!! don't you post it and wait to find out which of the 458 rules someone noticed you broke??? LOL

Wow...do you know some nice people like this? :) It's a great poem - I'm getting used to the Rictameter rhythm. And you've found some very evocative words: 'haughty' disdainful. Good one. :)

    After 53 years of living, you can bet I've run into them. Would not keep their company for very long, though! LOL!! Thinking of writing several rics on human attributes, values, even the negatives. Not preaching morals, but creates thought on fundamentals of character. Thanks for review. Hey, you weren't the first one this time. What happened?? HA!!! Sue

Great piece. I especially found the finality of it rather appealing. The theme is one that definitely maintains the reader's interest and I have noticed no reason to deduct.
