to me you will always be elite. not sure about the cunt part though. i learnt so much for those elite poets on this site that if anything i'm the elitist admiring what you and others do. but that's just me.
i did struggle to see how elitist cunt and a comment saying this is not poetry go together, and not for the slightest reason would i call the person who used the phrase elitist. dale comes across as a well educated and experience person in life. that's all i see. he's down to earth and i like his honesty. but this thread isn't about leanne or dale of me or aish; its not about elitism. it's about prose and is it okay to say "this isn't Poetry"
but it's good enough to say i saw you as a decent poet

To be quite frank some of the critiques I've read since coming back remind more of a site I left a couple of years back because it was so technical and harsh I felt it stifled creativity instead of fostering skill. Ekphraistic pieces aren't really my cup of tea, but I have written a few (one is posted here) and as long as they aren't abused I don't see the harm.
I always fully admit my educational background is not in poetry, and while I lament that somewhat I would rather be a hack than an elitist cunt.
