i think what's being said in the op is this; when we make something we need to pay attention to it's imperfections, if they/we don't do this then why fucking bother. if we are capable of attaining a certain quality, level of the craft then do so and stop titting about with it. if peots don't be the best they can be, then they're inferior. for me this is true of all levels of poetry. i am an inferior poet because i don't put my heart and soul into it. if you want to be "the" poet, then you have have to give it all you are. i think leanne an excellent poet, she knows the devices she has oodles of experience but if she she doesn't give a poem her best she's just a good talented poet and not a great one. if a bad poet does the best they can they are great poets,
