AKA Poets (Free verse) by Skamper

I turn pages blanking so tired a little angry with you/myself words - wrapped in new fangled type-set offend me catagory - Poetry the temerity of minds whirring through rolladex’s with pens attached scribbling frantically staring at the wall for inspiration dry me My nose bleeds from inhaling your plucked idealism you call cleverness he called it imagination before that it was revolutionary Go away NO – wait - I will leave for if you even twitch in a backward direction the fool behind will shuffle forward in passing off himself as fresh and - deodorized thoughts reeking - transfer osmetically between shallow smiles and vapourous wit another gormless nodding inked dribbler oozing boredom chinways dropping ideas fumbled from your fingers to his we need no introduction we're generically related

No. I tend to shy away from calling myself that. Essentially, I'm practicing poetry. It's something that keeps my thoughts from getting too soaked from the mundane. Some say we shouldn't compare. I do. I look at what I've written, try to find things to correct, post, revise, and when it seems I'm getting high marks, I look at the many pots on my bookshelf and ask myself if what I've written would stand up to their scrutiny. Usually the answer is no. The upside is, this method usurps 'Mage. Heh.

Who are you reading currently? What is their country of origin?
I'm trying out Hart Crane. Way over my head. But 3 years ago, So was O'hara. I think I can read him now.
