in some ways i envy how you can use poetry. envy isn't the right word really. i struggle to use it as you say you use it.
my real outlet is cooking, some poet i am. i don't see or hear the other voices. it's hard for me to see or hear any voice. i think poetry is something special but no more so than anything else. if a poem is wrong for me i'll try and put it right. it depends what feedback i get. for instance, i'm not sure the groucho poem needs redoing, i simply got it wrong, that was my fault not the writers. and talking poetry is good, i enjoy it, though on the scholastic side of it i do suck.
