Struck By Lightning

Oh, yes. I have read the rules and understand them well. I posted this to see what the reaction would be. Nothing more and nothing less. If people like it, great. If not, oh well. While I expected criticism, I hadn't expected criticism the likes of yours. Yours had a certain bite to it that carried the clear implication that it wasn't the same caliber of poetry that you enjoy. That's fine. I hear your criticism, I analyze it, and I move on. I write what my heart tells me, and at the end of the day, that is what a poet is meant to do, at least that's how I feel. If you want to maul it, feel free to do so... See the body, rip its guts out and tear apart what's inside.

Actually what makes me happy in your response is that I can see you don't buy into the concept of workshopping poetry, which is the purpose of this site. This allows me to ignore your poems freely. Thank you for saving me the time to spend on people that have different goals with their writing.
