talent: expressing strong feelings and views through poetry
ok.. here's what i'm so angry about this morning. some "friend" of mine (who i found out was totally and completely bisexual....don't get me wrong. i'm not against it. i'm just suprised.) made a blog. ok.. that's understood, hah. everyone and their dog has a blog. but seriously, she had a little "blurb" about who she is and what she's good at. supposidly her "talents" include giving ()@$*%@% and writing poetry and "expressing strong feelings and views" through it. ROSIE has talent. ee cummings had talent.
roses are green
i broke my spleen
all over the love of you
IT ISN'T POETRY. IT'S CRAP. how dare you call it poetry! read some ee! read some Walt! read some Emily!! those are poets! writing mindless blab in the form of some gay ass sonnet isn't imaginative. you shouldn't have to sit-and-concentrate while writing a poem. it should come freely. poetry is an art. don't fucking abuse it with lyrics from ludacris. using someone else's poetry (or lyrics) isn't artful. (unless used in an artful way.. which clearly it wasn't.)
but whatever.. if that's what you want to call talent. personally, someone who has a hell of alot of artistic talent with this stuff is Rosie.
alright. whoo.. i probably sounded like an idiot ranting like that.. like i honestly believe that someone could write poetry that is just.. trash.. and still be good. i guess her efforts should be celebrated, but before you go announcing to the world that you're the best poet ever, maybe you should let someone who understands the English language read it over.
whatever. maybe it's just my taste. i'd like to think of myself as a very open person. i guess it's poetry..
:-/
it's just not something to publish. or.. quote..
i'll write back soon. sorry for the yucky post.
the story ends like this..
