As with all art, people like it or they don't.

I am not here to live my life for you. You are right, I am not going to answer because I don't give a shit about you trying to bait me.

Get your GPS fixed because the road to giving a fuck is not here.

Sorry you feel that way.

Boru

No you are not sorry. So spare me.

You didn't like it. So what. 

What is irritating isn't that you didn't like it, but you stupidly think you are the first in 30 years to criticize me.

Actually, I am sorry that you think this is a game or that you think I'm trying to bait you.

And no - I don't think I'm the first person to criticize you.

RE: Great Poetry
"I Was Told" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)

I was told
A tiny back dot
On a giant white canvas
Constitutes art

Jackson Pollock 
I don't get
But it doesn't matter
Someone did

I was told
Meter matters
But it means nothing
If the message is lost

Caviar 
Tastes great to some
I don't get it
Wouldn't put it on my tongue

That movie we went to
Just last night
I said I liked  it
You said you did not

We ate at this restaurant
Had the same plate
I said it was horrible
You said it was great

I've been told
What to do
And how to do
And all for who

But since this is
The only life I get
I'll write like I please
With no regrets
(end)

Art is what works, and all it has to do is work for some, not everyone.

Enigma, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)

Stratosphere language
Gets lost in orbit
Very few reach 
Or understand it

Easy speaks
Knock on the door
Salons of philosophers 
Words used no more

Call them babushka 
Dip your baguette in Au jus
Still broken down to
Old woman, bread and meat juice

Take your constitutional 
Outside the Hotel
Where the concierge 
Wishes you well

Meanwhile
At Motel 6
You pass by the desk clerk
Take a walk on the beach

Of "hot blood"
I need not write
In enigma code
For my words to take flight

If my Skene please not you
If my Parakatoi does not sooth
Then what has this enigma
Done for you?

RE: Great Poetry
Funny how you claim that it doesn't matter if people like your poetry, and then offer a justification for it.

And you still owe me an apology.

I don't owe you shit. 

And for someone who claims not to be baiting me, you keep responding.


Now, I'd bet especially in my last poem, you didn't get all my references. And you'll probably have to cheat and google them to get them.

I think it is laughable you think you are getting to me. It should occur to you that I am playing you.

Well, you lied about me, so I think that merits an apology.

I confess to not getting all the reference in your alleged poem.  I did not, however, google them, because I don't care all that much.

Quote:QUOTE BORU You do understand that the title of the thread is 'Great Poetry', not 'Poetry Of Such Staggering Mediocrity That Anyone Should Be Ashamed To Claim It As Their Own', right?

Boru

I imagined that right?

You thought it sucked. I get that. But again, I don't owe shit or my submission nor do I feel ashamed for posting it. Sorry that bothers you, but that is your baggage not mine.

Oh, and for someone who wont bother looking up my references you are one to talk.

Again moron, what bothered me wasn't that you didn't like it. It actually is irritating knowing all the other poets I have read and the ones I have met in my poetry group long ago. You are not hurting me personally by saying stupid shit like this. You are stupidly assuming art is only that which you approve of.

And again, for someone who thinks I do not deserve attention, thanks for the free publicity.

No, I don't think you did.

lol, no baggage of any sort.

I don't understand this.  Are you accusing me of not looking up references?  If so, that's a mistake on your part - I look up references all the time.  I didn't look up the ones in these two poems because I don't care enough to do so.

On the contrary, there's quite a lot of stuff I don't like that I consider to be art.  My objection to your poetry (and I agree that it may qualify as 'art') is that I find it inane and puerile.

Quote:And again, for someone who thinks I do not deserve attention, thanks for the free publicity.

I never said you don't deserve attention.

Can I assume your apology will be forthcoming in the near future?

No, because I have nothing to apologize for.

You find it inane and puerile? Good for you. Would you like a cookie for your opinion? Am I supposed to commit suicide because you didn't like it? 

"Key words" yours "I find"...... And again. So what?

Find your head first, I think you lost it up your ass.
