I really like this as a piece of personal experession. Too often people get caught up in the craft and process of writing poetry that they forget that poetry is about communicating and not making perfect poetry for poetry's sake to be admired by fellow practitioners.

Give me a poet who puts feelings and emotions before craft. I can forgive the lack of skill but I can't forgive craft without feeling.

Wonderful. Don't ever put the dead hand of craft before your need to express yourself.
