I'm not trying to say that, I am saying that, precisely. I value his opinion because he's a poet, and a very good one. I don't value yours, because you seem like a generic fool. But I am enthusiastic about my own work, at least some of the time, and it was silly of me to even have brought him into this. I just don't understand where most of you are coming from...by what standards you are judging these poems. This is probably my favorite, or at least the most successful, of the poems I've submitted, and it has the lowest score. This is like some online poetry slam. And by the way, you don't think loss, pain, and misunderstanding are aspects of human experience? They're the essence of human experience.
