to equate good and bad in craft with skilled and less. more skilled is like comparing apples and pork pies. i've seen some bad poetry that was pretty good for a newb. good and bad is relative, i'd hate to round all the newb poets and tell them they're bad poets or that they write bad poetry. i see some of the best poetry come from those who are starting out. good poets tend not to improve anywhere near as much. for me the newb poet is the most precious, as far as vanity sites go they too serve their purpose, eventually those who wish to learn a bit more tend to move on to better more helpful sites. most of us here have at one time or another been a vanity site member.
i keep hearing about the muse but have never seen it or know what it is people are talking about when they mention it. i'm not a translator, i'm not a poet per say, i'm not good enough to be the latter, i hear about the muse all the time and the word that comes to mind when i see it is 'pretentious' oh gawsh, i seem to have lorst me muse. milo made a lot of sense when he told me if you want to write, you will right. the muse is more often than not and excuse for be a lazy writer,
