Cows are plodders, but look what grows out of their excrement... noone can predict where the next defining poem of a nation or generation will come from and noone has a clue what it will look like either, so never discount the products of the plodder.

Leanne spake thus: "At the end of the day, it's poetry if the writer
and at least one other person agree that it's poetry -- now, whether it's good or bad poetry is an entirely different question!" While I agree with the part that came after the first part, I must respectfully disagree with the part that came before it. IMHO it takes only one reader to verify the poemness of a particular collection of words and that, invariably, is the one who first writes them. (Except in certain poetry forums where the authors blindly drivel them out leaving it for the next pathetic soul to do the inpoeming.) Leanne spake alsoly: Cows are plodders, but look what grows out of their excrement... Psilocybin mushrooms! She hath seen god(s)! P.S. And since poems are words: __Word Meat__ - Jeffrey Sullivan the shape of the word lets us forget what is inside but inside the word its shape dissolves eating the meat of words letting their sweet blood flow from our mouths our teeth deep inside the words our shape becomes the shape of words ...

Hi, Jiminy!
Cutter poetry is poetry written about cutting on oneself. Now, I do realize OCD is a legitimate problem requiring intercession. However, there has been a veritable glut of poorly written, cliche laden, sappy (and downright BAD) carbon copy cut-and-paste type drivel on most online poetry sites. Sadly, it is not all written by angsty adolescents. I know this is probably coming off as elitist and rude, but it seriously all reads about the same. These are not kids with OCD - cutting has become a popular activity among teens, and so has bad poetry.

when i say cutter poetry it's just that. poetry with usually teenage angst and dripping blood etc.
as Aish mentioned good poetry can be written about anything, cutter poetry is seldom good poetry.

jiminy askes: "what is cutter poetry?" In the spirit of "Show, don't tell", jiminy, I bestow upon you this an awe-inspiring example: __Some Call It Crazy__ - Cassandra Johnson Some call it crazy Some say it’s sick But I think it’s freedom The pain is fierce but quick Some say that it’s a sin Just a little to risqué But it helps release the pain That I go through every day The blade is sharp and cold As it runs across my skin Leaving me to ponder And decide how deep I cut in The icy chill running down my spine Makes me feel at ease I no longer feel like a coward F**king up on everything with every breath I breathe But some days I want to stop Feeling like everything's wrong Trying to let go of the blade Sometimes I can but not for long It’s like I'm addicted to the pain The feeling taking refuge in my veins Leaving me feeling confused and alone Wiping at the streaked tears that seem to be stained Burned into my skin forever Becoming a part that I cannot escape Sometimes I just want to hurt all over To scream at the top of my lungs until they break I want to escape from my sadness It’s taking over me Why can’t I just rest Why won’t it let me be I just want to be free . . . from Best Teen Poems: http://www.bestteenpoems.com

RAY!!!!!!!! Well, hello
![]() "The reality of Mutilation" by TroubledSoul No one really knows exactly how I feel It's like a strong hatred for myself that doesnt even seem real you see the scars as part of my insanity I see them for what they are-wounds that'll never heal wounds inside of me represented by bloody lines Its how I deal with the inner pain that breaks away at me I take a razor and cut it out so I just wont feel the pain I always feel inside of me Quit trying to steal the only real thing that I have left to feel- the crude mutilation of my body

Mine came from DarkStar. And NO I do not classify it as good - although some other individuals of like mind did.
I created a challenge of writing putrid poetry - lots of cutter stuff gets thrown in lol.

Of course "good" in this sarcastic instance means "bad". BUT, I did want to make clear that the "bad" I infer is strictly an expression of my own tastes for poetry composition. I DO think the poems are "good" to the extent that they are honest attempts to speak about one's life. I try never to confuse these but am never entirely successful.

there's lots of people who love that sort of stuff. usually those new to poetry who are in the early to mid teens. usually they leave poetry after a while or move on to other types styles. for me it's a definite turn off, unless it's original
