I hope you're talking about me.
Cause I'm tellin' chip you're putting flip comments on 1201 titles in New Poems thingie.


If you do want an honest answer from me on this, it depends on the comment, depends on the poem. If somebody likes something, I didn't put in, well I fucked up. If somebody doesn't like something that isn't there, well they fucked up, and after I piss and moan about it for a day or two, I get over it, and resolve to write something they'll like even less.

you're getting paranoid in your old age I didn't mean you at all ...... and sticks tongue out at you for being a tell tale tit

i just thought I would jump the gun and point out that there is a typo in Song of Myself. I have explained in the comments *wanders off muttering curses at self*.

Dear Anonymous,

thankyou for your comment on my poem 'Poet'. You said:

I would say the whole thing is much ado about nothing. Iambs, yes, but it barely makes any sense at all.

I feel this is a shame and would happily find the time to explain the sense it contains should you care to understand it better. If it were a case of no-one else understanding the write either, then I would concede it as a fault on my part. However, since you appear to be the lone voice, it does look as if the meaning is there for the taking in this instance.

Regards,

butty.

But consider how much worse it is when one commits a blatant 'typo', in the title even. and no-one, but no-one even notices...for years.

So sorry Daisy.

hey, ishtat, I just looked...that is one of my pet peeves - 5 comments, 300 votes, during the kill the critic era. justify? before I pull the trigger?

just kidding, but since you mentioned.

In the dead of night

I stand by my comment but on receiving an email by the author saying that "I have seen very little evidence of any decent poetry on the site. Many of the offerings are a pretentious string of words written by people who, I suspect, have very little writing talent" I wondered what anybody else thinks and perhaps the author would care to come in here and elaborate on this

I noticed you have a fan following you, commenting on your comments, but not about the poem in question, but about your poetry.

Wow.

And I do wonder, what possible purpose could a string of cliches serve?

Author .Hey, babe I think you're hot....on & on

Author to Babe. What did you think?

Babe to author, I read the comments, I think you're not...and on & on

I find critique of critique hysterically funny. The response is either, "You don't know anything," or "Your stuff is worse."

Maybe I am the only one. The author in this case has made a fine self critique of his own work. If I had found his poem while browsing, "pretentious string of words" would have come to mind.

well, at least someone else is taking the heat. keep up the good work. as for the anon, I think they take themselves way too serious to giggle insanely.
