Gutted or what.
then don't write fucking poemes about it all the time.

I've heard enough teenage preachiness
Hey Intransit. Yeah, this one is a little enigmatic I suppose. You should have seen the first draft! Every re-write it gets a little clearer, I think I'm closing in on something...
I hope someone out there will get it, but dammit it's my own fault for being so damn obscure sometimes. I've already edited this 4 times tonight, so come back later, I'll have cleared up a few mysteries I hope.
But in the meantime, I hope the words are enjoyable on their own, even if the larger meaning is encrypted. I'm trying to find an equilibrium. Some words I use for the beauty and cadence, and strange levels of meaning. Style/content... and even a bit of form,
Simple language rearranged into strange orders, juxtaposed with shards of an image, arranged and ordered. I read it aloud and try to feel the rhythm... the sound, the images... And someday I hope to succeed on all levels. Someday. ****
(Was that pretentious enough?
Oh come on. Bake a Cherry pie Billy boy. Oh wait, I see that you have.
Well Bill, I think you've gone too deep for me on this one. Maybe I'm just tired . I'll try again later. Been a while. Glad to see you're still out there.
Guess what? This isn't plagiarism! Why not? Because you wrote "by William Shakespeare" at the end. You didn't try to pass it off as your own.
Now that's what I call irony.
And if you're still pissed at me, feel free to critique one of my pieces. Hack it up.
I understand. Believe me, I understand. But that doesn't make it a good poem.
But that's just one dude's opinion. You need imagery that's a little more original, is all.
Good one.
But seriously, "heart turn to ice"?
stabbed with a knife?
I need you and me to be?
It's an eggtray of bad cliche.
But keep writing, ya gotta start somewhere.
