While the cat's away...

So i'm gone for a week, and when I return, theres a nice comment on my /simonsays journal under the first poem. I guess I welcomed criticism when I made my material public and allowed anon. posting, but still, ouch? One line I find interesting is

"Your not T.S. Eliot and by no means nothing more then a mere knock off"

Funny, I never said I was him. In fact besides one teacher vaguely referring my writing to his in style, I wouldnt compare myself to him.

"That is the fakest thing I have heard in my entire span of life"

And that sentence is horribly written. Oh and you didnt hear it, you read it.

That doesn't sound like love that sounds like the dream of love

and? arent poems meant to be powerful imagery meant to represent emotions that could easily be conveyed more conventionally.

Well, I guess a ton of compliments and one crticism isnt bad. I just am not one to swallow back and let it stay I guess.

oh, and im back. sorry for the week or four off.

    *raises eyebrows* hmm, really not worth worrying about. i dont see why anyone would get so worked up by someone elses poems...if you dont like it, dont read it.

  2. I thought the whole idea of blogs, poetry, stories etc was that it was YOUR own vision. I've said it before on other blogs that it amazes me how people actually go to the effort of commenting negatively. I mean if they don't like it they can just move on. FREAKS!
