if you read one poem how do you know it's good or bad apart from being grammatically correct. if the poem has no punctuation wouldn't you think it badly written? we judge poetry as we judge everything. we just through the experince of the subject, i have watched beckham and a thousand other professional footballs and he is indeed one of the greats. but as a defender he's mediocre. he has been called by some "an actual spacial genius on the grounds he can judge distance, height, wind, velocity, and as well as that impart an accurate curve to the ball on more than an average number of times. he's a natural and to boot he's an experienced natural who has practised his art since childhood. when some one says becks is one of the best half the worlds population agree. he knows his craft, we/i only know this because i am/was an avid watcher of football.
when i came to poetry i really did believe that emo poetry was good as well as cliched love poems. i believed this because i lacked any experience of poetry, i hadn't read anything except the general fluff, i had no idea how to compose any kind of poem but a bad one...to me they were great but i now know they were shite. Dickinson, who was she, i'd maybe hear an odd sonnet which i thought was brutal, i'd read shakespeare but saw nothing in it...i knew no better, no i can see the beauty in a lot of his work abd even some in emily's work which i'm not to keen on, the pages of poetry books opened up and fuck me, i was hooked. i do know the difference 'twixt prose and poetry, but that hasn't always been the case.
as for any football player (professional/good) claiming another player isn't good because he's not becks....i call bullshit. most professional players have role models other players who inspire/d them. most football support will give you a list of ten or twenty world class players and they won't all be becks or their own team members. they know football because they watch (read) it, they can tell the difference between a third level football match and a top flight one. like prose and poetry they even argue about it constantly
