Interpretation...is it valid critique?

i don't hold with this good poetry bad poetry, i think it's a cop out, just because i write something and call it a poet does not make it poetry. i don't think the creator has a choice in saying "this is art" if everyone else says "it isn't then it isn't"

while there is bad poetry there is also stuff called poet that is only poetry because the writer said it is.

it's a bit like me saying a "pig is car" or "water is parrafin" or "taking a piss and calling it wine"

i remember visiting an art museum in london and in the middle of the floor was one house brick. everyone was cooing how artful the brick was and how clever the creator of the piece....it was a fucking brick. it was art only as much as any brick can be called art.
you say the work. i say the brick and those who see the brick as artistic were also bricks. people are to quick to call something art in order to seem connoisseurs. all they are are pretentious bricks
