Ah, I disagree -- we are all bark on the overgrowth of forest on God's rustic face. As in, it is bark that doesn't exist. !

Why Americans are serial killers most frequently, compared to every other country. We have forensics classes.

Do you write to be admirred? Or do you write because you feel you have something to say that people should hear?

I have never written to be admired. I've written essays for school that are primarily to show off to my teachers, but that's always for the grade, not because I think I"m fantastic.
I write because I feel it should be heard. The style should be seen and the unseen idiosyncrasies should be brought to light and give people a different way of looking at something simple.
I also write because I have lit'trally nothing better to do.
More Questions?

Don't you find alot of poetry is very clincal and just experiments with the English language? Trying to make pointless things sound beautiful, and they become mere aesthetics.
Do you think all poetry should represent something of the activity of soul?
Some poets tend to have a lot of aitches with poetry. Articulate people that puppet things and limit the idea of poetry.
It's been plaguing me lately and think you may have something to say about it?

ClancyBoy - Do you like attention?
Not particularly. I like Q and A's though. Is that OK with you?

Allot of poetry is just experimenting. And allot of it is just out of cynical attempts at sounding beautiful. Skilled writers has mastered doing this unintentionally, and therefore it feels like something beyond on, like words from some god. It will activate something in us, in our soul...but really, generally, it is simply a writers calculated, inspired ramblings.
A good poet can write something insightful, just as a worse poet can do the same...it is the mentality in the attempt though, and through the mentality, you can feel if the piece is truthfully something deep or some pretentious attempt at deep.
Either way, the poem is always an experiment. I suppose.
But what do I know. 
More Questions?

Spiders. And sharks. But who isn't afraid of spiders?
k3ng - Who are you exactly?
I could not answer this question without sounding cliche.
More Questions! I'm surprised at how few people want to ask a random persona questions....
