Of course I know what nothingtoanyone is trying to communicate.
Sorry, that's no qualification for poetrye.
To clarify: Take the sentence above. Do I seem to have felt something? Yes, of course. I felt sorry. Did I find a unique way of expressing it? Yes. I intentionally spelled poetry in an odd kind of quaint way. Does it let you feel something too? If there's any reason to the universe, yes. Put-off, indignant, or somewhat justified in whatever preconceived notions you're harboring about my personality or procreative abilities, probably.
Maybe you mean, The POET seems to feel something and finds a unique way blah blah blah. Is this a poem because INTRANSIT, a poet, wrote it? Not in any kind of universe I want to exist in!
Like a society without peasants, this poem has ideas well above those it achieves. There are too many arisions.
Good point, yeah comeback from that one "-=DA=-" you big cunt, finally someone has bested you with plain common sense talking. How do you know what Sunshine Conkey is knowledgeable in! Clearly hanging aroiund with diseased nonces but what else? what else!
po'erful
It puts the lotion on its skin
No, really, this is shit
Read Gilgamesh and shut the fuck up.
Every line in this poem is something
A 17 year old would say while holding
his penis in a blizzard waiting for a bus
to the mall to buy his girlfriend
some mango edible underwear at Spencers.
Except for the fact that a penis
in a blizzard is more interesting than this rubbish.

That description is not much use. But if you are serious about them having more poems than you have ever seen, go to the users page click on poems at the top to sort users by number of poems and check through see if you recognize any names. It may have been Christof or poetandknowit or edpeterson I guess.

has it occurred to you that several people match that description, it could even be me.....
and stop bitching all the time about critics. It takes a lot more effort to try and communicate to you what is wrong with your poems and why such a thing is wrong (as you will not accept even the most central of poetetic tenets) than it does to simply say: Ace Dovina, and everyone's opinion is equally valid so if you think 'show don't tell' is wrong you don't even have to make a cogent argument why.
If a dunce bangs her head against stone because she believes its properties are not stoney, does that make her at war with the stone? The line break thing is correct by the way. It may happen with metrical forms that lines break for syllable count's sake etc (although they really should not), free verse on the other hand attempts to mimic the musical patterns of speech.
War is bad. We know that, and unless a poem presents something unusual about it, the thing falls flat.
Allow me to explain. "up utensils I indulge in" is to be interpreted âI indulge in up utensilsâ If you eat them sideways you become a wine lover in Solvang region and get your butt whipped by an irate oriental woman. Itâs in your own interest.
