Dear Pilat

For the love of writers cafe, crucify creativity, banish the art!

note to Pilat:

I teach English but do not know much. new forms of poetry (which are actually old) startle Me. especially because they are old, and I should’ve known about them. I mean, heavens above: I have been writing and publishing poetry for over forty years! and I have a large quiver of cyber friends who are just as jumpy about this as Me. one in particular has been teaching language arts for decades, and can not find the meaning of it...

Pilat, enough is enough. I have been here for weeks now and this feels like My home. the site is being destroyed by people like this. people with their own creative pursuits, who do not march the way We march, nor pet crowns the way We pet crowns, who explore and re-invigorate old art forms - on a site like this!, My home. it's callous.

would You kindly see to this at once, or else I might realize that the art and creativity just do not revolve around Me and the popular opinion of My clique.

please Pilat, enough is enough and I have a crowd behind me.

It just dwell, I should come and visit your page.

I started laughing as soon as.... as finally I could make sense of what you where going on about. You have taken amongst what I can only assume to be personal choice to fight for a cause that involves breaking barriers. In this case through a style that admitedly needs to take from other sources in order to make it your own. I'm sure you must be subject of abuse. I can however respond and at the same time finally give you my answer as we were talking about two completely different things. You are in the search for a style. Within that I see no issues whatsoever. But the style you choose is bounded. You take so many words from this author it will cost you! Why ? Because is copyrighted. End of story. If you have enough money you can use any word any time for as long as you like. If what you are saying involves not paying you are transgressing the Law. Is completely up to you how you want to use that freedom. I thik Synasthesia will not be accepted in a court of Law as an excuse.

So the fight for a new meaning within taken words is pointless from a legal standpoint.

Yet if you develop a style and you do it well, congratulations!

Judging by the cold reception that you have encountered I would say things are not going swimingly so far.

I can't help laughing not at you not at all but with you.

It will prove an intriguing journey.

Good Luck!

Thanks Rene. I am not searching for a style however. Only conducting a social experiment. I am a visual artist.

[Rene Salinas]

Well you might have that in mind but once it leaves you whatever happens next is not for you to call. God knows all the well known social experiments and look how that turned out "it was only an experiment they said". For all we know Da Vinci was just experimenting hey? Who is to say really? Regardless of anything and all best of luck with your next project....

I can be glad I'm an artist and not an arsonist. Thankyou for the lucky wish. Maybe it won't amount to a gaseous conversion in rising heat.

Full credit to jacob erin-cilberto who once reviewed me with the threat to report me to the site admin for writing in the style of Found Poetry. He has since deleted the review...without apology

Yes. What is worth ignoring should be ignored. There comes a time for that.
