Sorry

It is a "cute" observation, and perhaps true, but it is trivial and not really poetry. - I know that you know that.

Roads and paths

Aunty Muse,

my piece is not on the main road of poetry. Otherwise I disagree with you on every account. Your description " 'cute' " does not fit my piece (it only reflects your peculiar state and attitude). Because of your " 'cute' " I know that you do not know what the piece is about, even if it is quite transparent. To see the whole pay attention to the title. My poem is not "perhaps true" but simply true, or rather poetically true (it is a poetic reflection of a true phenomenon). I know that you don't know it, but my mini-text is not trivial. And finally, it is poetry, even if it does not belong to the mainstream of poetry.

Thank you for your comment,

Perhaps ....

....Aunty was cross-eyed? Your work never fails to fascinate and intrigue me.

a poetic skittles

the piece is self explanatory and true to facts, clever really. I enjoy short worded poems that project the mind, like a dive from a diving board, the author closes their eyes and takes the leap while the reader see's it all.

well almost every one,
and that is me reading with my eyes crossed (~_~)
this was sort of like reading the M on an M & M
wondering what the M stands for
not really caring and eating it any way

I have more of a tendency to agree with Aunty Muse's assessment than yours.
We are the consumers, you are the writer.

poetry is not a real estate business

twelveoone, when someone talks like this:

"I have more of a tendency to agree with..."

then I smile and

1, "have more of a tendency" not to care about her/his "assessment"
2. treat him/her ** 1/1201 ** as seriously as s/he treats him/herself.

Perhaps, when you write poems, you are in an imaginary business, where readers "pay" you by praising you. You are wasting your time in arts. Go into a true business, say into real estate, and collect your profit by treating customers with that fake smile, do everything to please your customers. I am happy when some people like my poem but I am not in any business of winning the readers' approval. My goal is to write the best poems I can. Ignorant and superficial opinions make no difference to me.

Let me address also your comment under another of my poems. When I read a poem I simply read a poem. My opinion does not depend on knowing who the author is, what is that author's "standard". In particular I treat an unknown poet the same way I treat a famous one, it makes no difference to me. A poem is a poem. There is no need to promote in poetry double standards or even many standards, one per each "level".
