This is where you get yourself in trouble every time. I haven't said anything about you being a bum "and therefore having a bum idea of poetry." For one thing, being a bum doesn't mean you necessarily have a bum idea about poetry. Consider, for example:

To rephrase. You are a bum. You have a bum idea about poetry.
To wit, you clearly think poetry, that magical ephemeral gobble that it is, has something to do with almost anything except the skill and technique needed to write good poetry. Consider my original questions for the comment above:
Q: How would a painter, as a poet, write poetry?
A: Why the fuck wouldn't he write it like a poet?!?! You're essentially saying: Frank is a painter. Frank is a poet. Frank writes poetry like a painter, not like a poet. You say this because you think poetry takes little work except for tapping into the meatwell of your tender pre-menopausal heart. Anyone can do it.
Or, you're bound to argue, so -
Q: How would Van Gogh, as a painter, make a chair?
A: Probably all bad, crooked and perspectiveless. You'd think that's cool, I'm sure. Until you tried to sit in it and fell on your detaching uterus. Or bum.
In all honesty, Merry Christmas.
