Eh. I've posted too much this weekend. It's what happens when one has limited time during the week.
I really don't write as much as my postings make it appear. Trust me.

Strong blunt and to the point, still quite "poetic"
Thanks for the entry and best of luck in the contest. -

Thanks so much for your entry in the Allpoetry Extravaganza contest. Perhaps I too understand this one . . . perhaps. Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you for your entry into the Legacy contest, this is one I can honestly say I understand
and holds a door via language to a place I feel at home.
Good luck in the contest.

Consider it bookmarked. Simple as that.
The first section was great. I loved the way you walked around the directness of your subject, but still manage to look it in the face. If that makes any sense.
Or maybe it's more that I understand so well, the subjects of your focus, like the use of the word 'fuck'. That actually made me smile.
The second section though, honestly, I wasn't as enthralled with. I think mostly, because you fall into some of your favorite words and images and I could see you coming. I like it more when you surprise me.
Then we get into your third stanza and I'm in love with your writing all over again. Especially your first two sentences 'Poets steal. Poets lie'. For some reason I really laughed hard at that. I think it's because it reminded me of a few people around here.
So I think that proves your words are not only accurate and truth, but garner reaction. Overall, just lovely, you pretty thing.

Anonymous entries are interesting - but I would guess this to be Annalise.
This is rich and full, truly excellent.

Wow, this poem really really says the truth about poetry... I like how you worded it, too. Not one word more or less than there should be, and all of them obvious but not too much so. Well written.

Thank you.
LOL I just wanted to write a poem that used the word "proliferated." That's such a great word, I think.

What to do when all the words are used up when they are spoken out and threadbare? make some more or use the ones that are hiding under the bed.
You wrote about writing and poetry. And you grabbed it and shook it and the letters oozed and jumped like peas in boiling water.

Ah, yes. We must push past the dust bunnies and old, mate-less socks and find those words. We must, we must!
Ah, thank you, my friend. Your words are always a pleasure to receive.

"We have fornicated with every loose vowel & strict stemmed consonant"
