"defyn serious, we shudnt b singling poets out"

What?

Anyway, it sounds, dare I say it...

Retarded. A waste of space, and a waste of time.

Need I to go into the reasons why?

Seriously, just take my word for it.

Two words... and I think I will quote JPM on this one

"Have dedication"

Simple as that...

Words of wisdom, JPM.

You obviously arent drunk enough tonight.

So you got a late start today then, eh?

Start? I didn't realise he ever finished being drunk LoL Weren't you ever taught that the best way to not get a hang over is to stay drunk?

Born in relation to your initial post - I don't think its going to solve the problem unfortunately - A good idea yes, won't take away from that...but it defeats the purpose of the already established request forum really...

=Eirisa=

Hey Born, I been looking at your work and I think I commented on a few. The only way toget better at this game is to keep a open mind and write alo9t. I been writing for over 20 years now, trust me when I say the best comes with time, and commitment. I hope this helps, I got alot of poems on here and will put up alot more, and I take others words to heart but no matter what I know I can write with the best of them, and I get my point across. Take care and hope this helps

its a very good idea but i seriously doubt itll happen....cuz everyone would think themselves a serious poet.

the people who want a career in writing are def. serious poets.

everyone has different opinions on this so its hard to determine a serious poet...so i guess thats why it wouldnt work..(sadly)

Born, i understand your frustrations with the sugar coated mentality of most comments. But in fairness, it's exactly those people, the ones that write cliched work and leave thoughtless generic comments that need serious writers around them. I mean, how else will they grow as writers? Both in their own poems and their comments on others?

Seperation is not the way forward....try to let them know how it feels to get a lame comments...and when you read something they've written and think it's mince...explain why.

I agree. I hate getting comments like "good job" I like to get comments that tell me how to get better, or even sayt he poem sucked!
