"As.far as poetry getting better as you age? That is almost pure poppycock. As far as I know, Yeats is the only poet considered to have improved with age after his development period."
I have to disagree. I've been writing poetry since 8. From 8-14 was the forced rhyme crap plentiful with clichés. From then to about 19 was the woe-is-me crap. It was all crap until around 19 when I got married.
all along this journey I have had many things published, and probably not due to their merit.
I'm most proud of my work the last 20 years.
so neeners, mr milo.
love ya,
