Well, all those things crept in because of the vacuum left when folks like you jumped ship.


Drowning rat.

Lifeboats at the ready,

Seems the oars can double as paddles.

*jumps in the briney depths*

*chuckles*

I miss you too. :kiss:

I doubt if I'll be staying. Some things - ignorance, deceipt, mediocrity - bother me ( I can't help it :) ), and there are too much of them here now.

I also can't help peeking in from time to time...old habits.

:rose:


*wiggling my fingers and twitching my nose and Shazzammmm!! Another Cracker Barrel Rocker pops up next to mine...

Here, Tara!! Come rock with me and we'll laugh and laugh!! When all else fails it's still the best thing to do, you know. And I do miss you... :heart:

what credentials to you to write?
This question occured to me, because a certain person has been making a lot of noise about lack of credentials, thinking that it is perfectly valid to write with just a heart, saying nothing about poetry or the tools of poetry.

Think about it.

Hm, I agree. I understand, though I have not read this post yet, nor do I know which person. I hope its not me, though :D

is there not room in this site for more than one right way of doing things?
Well, there is certainly room for far more than one wrong way! ;)
 
twelveoone said:
for those that came in late, Art was the one that made the issue of credentials, one can not critise without the credentials. Along with a couple of other negative remarks.


Art is a bit'o ;) :D Its ok. If we can accept midgits in porn? We can accept MET :heart:

:D :devil:

I disagree with 1201 here:

twelveoone said:
Thank you Art - did you stop to think, this has been played 10,000 times over, better? Did you ever notice the forced rhyme, cliches? You have been here for over a year. Instead of the "Academy", maybe you should have paid more attention.

I hold you partially resposible, for the critic lite mentality, for the march to the LCD.
And since you are the biggest loudmouth around here - BAM.

Don't like it, too bad, try really reading something about Zen, instead of that pap you are pushing around, you'll write better.



I have to disagree with 12 here. You need to omit the "partially" from the second paragraph above. Do that and I agree completely with what you have said.

This is what I was screaming about over a year ago.

What do you say 12, should we end this "special olympics" approach to poetry?

Yes, there is room for honest, knowledgeable commentary on poetry, even amid the pandering for votes, friends and panties with the flowery tripe called good commenting here.

It's about goddamn time.

I think 1201 should be canonized for this crusade he has carried on, basically alone.

Tara: I got the Halle fucking part. Got that down cold, in fact. I'm there.

I am, though, a bit confused about the "lujah." Is that some technique I'm supposed to know about? Can you teach me? (Hey, I've always been a good student!) :)

tarablackwood22 said:

Yes'm. Agreed.

St. 12? (We know he ain't Saint 1, Peter has dibs on that. St. 1,201? One wonders--what would FSM say?)

Can we all go back to talking about fucking poetry now?!

And, yes, "fucking poetry" in particular. This is a pern site, ya know.

another dog barks an opinion...
wondering curiously what propelled you to lay your opinion out...a 1201 fan? That I would understand better than your placing 1201 to be right cause he can spell.


Just because you can spell, don't make you right or intelligent <grin> obviously, I can see this in your post. FOR if you read this thread or my threads...<my threads> each has different purpose ......and I thought this was an amature writing forum offered to the free will public, not just for scholastic disecting of literature.

you agree with my point on credentials but...you disagree with my ?

exploit new poets? I feel you missed the mark here Tara... I cushion the blow of the new poets clashing with the so called intellects critics balancing the harsh comments /critic with encouragement and inspiration while they are torn apart by critics with a need to disect literature. As they are here and made the transition they find some one willing to teach them or work with them. (this is not my expertise) The many of thin skinned poets that run for the hills after coming to this forum and finding it not so favorable. I do a good deed Tara rather your smart enough to see it or not. <examples> Rf made it vs somemoron decided he would rather go back to school and take an english course than listen to ten people say ten different things about his poem...then they argue over who is right? <laughing>

you claim...If asked to defend the quality of one of his poems, he does so, without taking offense or accusing the critic of vindictive attacks. you been gone a bit? he has done a lot of vinditive attacks I am simply defending my literary creations. He tells me when my poems are good and then places comments that "this poem is CRAP" <See above posts> I can't help but feeling you hopped in here without reading the whole thread as so many do. You assumed HERE WE GO AGAIN...and defended your buddy >>>>cool>>> that's fine too

Pay attention boy, pay close attention. Unless you look at the construction the dynamics of things, you will never begin to understand. Tara I have an immense amount of respect for, Tara in so many words told me certain things I wrote where "crap"; she didn't quite use that word, functionally it was the same. I agreed with her half the time, disagreed strongly the other half. It is the "poem", not I, I am interested in improvement, not cheap ego gratification,
I am glad she weighed in for another reason, it is through reading and commenting on Tara's poetry, certain mysteries of poetry started becoming clear, she challenged me, I hope I have improved.
Now in your case, it has become you, not just the "poem". I didn't know YDD, did not have much interactions with her, but very quickly I saw she left the most insightful, honest comments here. I saw a great love for the art. I felt a love for her. A few times I PM'ed her and aplogised for the time she wasted on some of mine. That is the amount of respect I had for her. I just got a little tired of you running around squawking about how negative critics are. So what are we to do, leave this place to the "writers of the heart" that do not care to learn the "tools" NOTE ARTHUR, I said "tools" - not rules.

Now, one last thing, jackass, I belieive Tara did mention her credentials, so what kind of response do you show her? Typical - no apology. Your right, Art it has become you. YDD never told me her credentials, her comments did. As for me, I never mentioned credentials, except when I came into your thread and mocked you, why do you think I affected that good ole boy aksent. Don't get me wrong, I love to hear accents, prefer them to college diction. I never mentioned credentials, because I don't care, doesn't matter. What matters is a willingness to learn, to accept, to keep an open mind. Funny ain't it, you only seem to be concerned about an open mind when you think you can get away with accusing others of not having one.
Not going to work on me, nor is this compassion for new writers, I have gone out of my way, and you are no longer are a new writer, but instead, chose to become a tired old preachy thread hog.
Be a man, take the step, apologise to Tara, to start, get rid of that ego.
