[X] I checked the box. Eggselent work. 10./
Okay then, fuck the votes. Pretend they don't exist. That still won't help me make this a better poem. I really want people to help me with this because it could potentially be good. If we forget the voting saga, will that encourage you to give me some suggestions?
You are so freaked out by votes that are missing my point completely, which shows nothing but your age. God fobid you ever get a rejection letter in the mail.
Tis mighty interesting, methinks. Must've taken a minute or two to make, so I'll give ya an 8 for effort. Do you really want Lark Angel?
Short and sweet. Kind of like something Ogden Nash would write.
If you haven't read him, check it out.
Nice. I like the simplicity and the
metaphors.
Not, "Do I Exist?", but "Am I Still Here?"
Alternatively, "Am I Still Pissed?"
You learn how to draw statues, dumbfuck.
You have a thing about zero, don't you. Presumably it's the number of your IQ. Or maybe it's the amount of people who like you.
Why, oh why must you nullify me?
That's an unusual position, I never heard of it before. You were about to say something else at the end of your comment-a what?
I never have met a fuckup quite like you, you're very original.
Thanks! A few people have told me they like that line.
The format of you is overused.
Thank you
He is just an old bastard. Oh nevermind he is actually only 34. That's what too much pigeon watching will do to you. Don't mind him. For every 0 he gives you, let me know and I will give you a 10 to balance it out. Sometimes you can't fight the world, you just have to go with the flow and learn how to abuse it...quietly.
I like it..I don't get the low scores. Read mine about genital mutilation.
Aha, some help! Thank you, sir. Two questions:
1-How should I put the ideas from books into common experience?
and
2-Surely that would just make me sound like every other poet who considers themselves 'professional'. What good would that do me? I personally prefer to try something different.
And finally, yes it does bother me that you are going to keep giving my poems a zero just because it bothers me. You're supposed to be one of the proper poets on this site. You're not. A proper poet would give helpful advice and not try to ground young writers into the dirt. Get a better attitude, for chrissakes, the way you are right now benefits nobody.
It's a shame that you will repeatedly vote zeros, I don't vote zeros on yours because that would be unethical.
I would love to have some comments regarding the revised work, because it's not the finished article as I'm sure many people will tell you. That's fair enough, and I have no argument with it. However I do have an argument with the people who give poems zeros just because they don't like the idea of someone being good at poetry. I think that that is what Mikius was talking about, he wasn't actually referring to you, because you do give help to less experienced poets.
I have to question how 'experienced' poetandknowit is at writing poetry, because he never really seems to know how to criticise a poem-"It sounds like a 13-year old who's just ejaculated for the first time", what the fuck is he talking about? That doesn't help me in any way, shape or form. There are plenty of great poets on this site, but none will get the recognition they deserve because the 'big names' seem to just vote them out of contention. So much for the poemranker hierarchy.
Anyway, thanks for the help, if you have any more advice, please let me know.
