Simplicity in Poetry

[shemthepenman]

If you'd seen my pay cheques you'd know I really do teach just for the love of it

true [i know a teachers salary]. that wasn't a great example.

The beauty of poetry is its almost complete worthlessness as it resists monetization of all forms. This renders all but 3 living poets hobbyists. Ahhh - the joys of being a hobbyist mean you get to do a thing for the joy of it.

Once again, just like carpentry, gardening and guitar playing I (and statistically everyone else) get to write poetry for the joy of it.

Difference of the home builder is he does it for a paycheck.

you're talking shit. but whatever. think what you've been conditioned to think. most people do.

ps. i did say ages back that of course there is a love for the process. but the bottom line is the process is already established. a guitar player already likes the sound of the guitar and assumes he's not alone. he enjoys learning because he's already previously enjoyed listening. i can't keep going over the same point you obviously don't understand.

and yep, the home builder does it for a paycheck. that was kinda the metaphorical point. :/

stick to writing poems Milo, smarts isn't your strong suit
