what's wrong with poetry?

in nutshell...nothing, the problem lays with the would be poet. the fuss always seems to be about what the poet who wrote it meant, how they suffer for their art. on a site like this i#m really only interested if the poet is trying to improve, i'm long past anything impressing me, be it poetry or anything else. i love seeing someone do an edit or think about how they can improve. what for me defies logic, is someone posting a poem then after getting feedback asking if uch and such is allowed here. they ask because people leave feedback as to why something doesn't work. write any crazy way you like but don't then question whether or not you're allowed to. write as you will and give feedback as will. wehn you don't do or allow either you create the wrongness in poetry.

we should all be allowed to dislike something in your poem, don't be so fucking shocked if someone gives feedback about the silly fucking ideas you experiment with. who knows some may think what you did works. it's a lottory don't cry if you don't win.


think skin is what's wrong woth poetry...too many poets have thin skin and an elevated idea as to their own greatness.
