people telling me I suck

[clemonz]

no i'm not saying you shouldn't write poetry, just that maybe you'd be better off if you saw the value in existing poetry.

ok ?

Because of the forum in which you and others in this diatribe have decided to expound, I would be tolerant if the comments helped the original poster. However, I see this going sour; please do try to keep a sense of consideration for the firmly, if erroneously, held views of others. The purpose of critique is to make better, not wound by opinion.
mod.

seriously, dude, i was trying to be helpful and it seemed pretty pertinent as he/she just said:

I don't think poetry has value

???
