that explains it then 
no i never taught anywhere, except to my kids, and certainly nothing creative
in fact i never really went to school as such
i hate lots of poems, it's just that as i read more and more i realised that me hating it didn't make it bad poetry. that often when i thought of a poem as being so and so, it was just me who didn't interpret it correctly or just so far off what i liked it had to be crap.
i think a person has to want to improve to get over that first hurdle, often we say we want to improve but mean "wtf can you show me that i don't know already .
