DHD readers who don’t scrutinize the comments (hard to believe) have been missing one of the more amusing analysts of the Hollywood scene — the PoetKnowIt. After this past week’s depressing news, we all can use some grins. So here are recent gems from the PoetKnowIt. Wish I knew the identity of this gifted guy or gal…

BRAVO!!! Who knew that “FUCK” could have so much poetical flare.
Nikki, you’re a great reporter but if you think this is funny I’m concerned for you…
Umm, no, I don’t think so.
All hail The Limerick King!
Now we just need someone replying with haikus as well. ^_^ Thanks for posting these!
The Spike Lee one was the only good one, IMO.
Sad that this kind of language qualifies as witty to you
Come on, give the man a break! He rhymed Zucker with “Mucker:”
Muck´er (m?k´?r) n. 1. A term of reproach for a low or vulgar labor person.
We are dealing with a formidable intellect here.
Four stars.
Yeah, this is pretty amazing. Well done, really…

To detractors, these lines:

YOU THINK THAT MY RHYMES ARE NOT “ON IT.”
BUT THE LINES IN THESE PAGES,
DO NOT CALL FOR SAGES.
WHAT THE FUCK SHOULD I DO, WRITE A SONNET?
No no no please spare us a sonnet…
These are great.
Am I shocked that the humor and wit passed over some peoples heads? Not so much.
I look forward to new ones, Poet…(no sonnets, please).
enjoy the witty comments, but how about some subject/ verb agreement on do vs. does?
This “poet” of endless supply, who
is a regular on Nikki’s reply crew,
seems a rare kind of prodigy
trodigy… stodigy… frodigy…
Dammit, I should have written a haiku.

Now THAT’S poetry!
I thought they were great, Poet.
You “serious posters” are missing the whole point of this guy or woman. So many of you come here and shoot daggers at people or pontificate about subjects that have nothing to do with Hollywood.
This guy’s making fun of the absurdity of our business.
Not to read too much depth into this shit but this is why he writes in limericks, the lowest-form of the verse.
Lighten up.
He made me feel bubbly inside.
