A rhyme I'll weave
About a pet peeve
Concerning grammar & spelling
It makes me quite mad
It's gotten so bad
On this subject I can't help but dwelling
I have found
That typos abound
But those I can ignore
The exchanging of text
Has me quite vexed
And makes reading poems a chore
Let's review
The words threw and through
The former is a verb past tense
You threw the ball
Walked through the mall
The latter is a preposition, make sense?
It's time to go
Over no and know
The first is a negative expression
I have no more
I know the score
I hope I'm making an impression
Let's try one more
There's your and you're
You're is a contraction of you are
Your is possessive
I know I'm obsessive
But to not know this, to me, seems bizarre
There's to and too
And do and due
These words have different meanings
Words misused
English abused
To the language it's demeaning
I may be splitting hairs
But no one seems to care
To spellcheck or proofread
This may sound absurd
But if you want to be heard
Fine tune before you proceed

I've quit browsing through the poetry section on DA. The lack of knowledge concerning the English language got to me. There are some really good poems out there, but they are chock full of grammar and spelling issues. To me, this is very distracting, and takes away from the work.

This is absolutely brilliant 
I completely agree. In general writing I may make the occasional spelling mistake, but before submitting something that is supposed to be a piece of art, you would think people could at least run it through a spell check.
