okay!
i am so glad i came across this little gem!
very funny and yes, indeed harsh!
But they need to be taught a lesson..........
poetry is divine.
how dare they malign it's sanctity.
admiring poetry is one thing, but trying to write and calling oneself a poet.....well that is not as simple as it seems, right?
i loved it!

Thanks for the review. You're right that it's harsh. In some ways, it may be as often directed at myself as anyone else. It's a reminder that not everything I (or anyone) put to paper deserves to be called poetry.

if a bunch of words could be an outlet for someone's pain and emotions........no matter how screwed up they be, grammatically..........it will be a poem, atleast for me. we are not forced to appreciate anyone and also, we must never provide a forged opinion. but the least we could do is not make fun of them! i might suck at poetry but writing makes me feel great and nobody has the right to take that away from me.

i hope i didn't offend you.

BRAVO. I cannot help but appreciate your poem whilst laughing. I see SO MANY desperately rhymed poems and their misuse of form.
Love your piece.
Thanks for sharing.
Good & bad are only two verses of words... that play with our lives... isn't it? I like the flow how beautifully you express your feelings of bad & good through this poem. It's a very unique piece... to enjoy with time.
I like this there is something about it that reminds me of the bravado of the old greats. Like Oscar Wilde on a bad morning. As critical as this poem is of those you describe as would be poets(although I would argue that simply writing poetry doesn't make someone a would be poet), the brief yet powerful description of the amateurs process seems sort of pleasing to me. Pouring thoughts into something and feeling the giddy sensation of creating something that at first seems new and unique to you

Creating something (good or bad) evokes a joy few other things can in this life. Sometimes that creation can only be prompted by bad creations in the past. This poem really shows me for the curmudgeon that I (sometimes) am. :) Thanks for the review!
Well poetry is difficult to write, we all begin as amateurs and grow along the way.
That aside it had a strange humorous touch to it which i surprisingly enjoyed .

While I've been writing for years (13 or so), I've only recently started writing in earnest (i.e.: writing a single story with a determination I've not had before).
I have a degree in English Lite.. more..
