Thanks for chiming in. What do you do, if I may ask, to improve your poetry? What do you look at and try to change?
i read poetry, i read critique, i read threads like this. to be honest i learn little from threads like this apart from what's bull shit and what's not bullshit. for me. i learn more about people than poetry in threads like this one. i did learn there's more than 5 vowels after googling something that was written here, i also learn from good poets, things like an iambic pentametric poem such as a sonnet doesn't need more than three iambs in a single line, thank you milo and leanne. to see this you only have to read some shakespeare. i learn by seeing how poets take poetry out of the box and turn it metaphorically into a circle. i learned this by noticing good poets often learn about form in it's strictest sense before changing a form in their work. i've also learned and still am learning that often it's not the one who talk the most that know the most. i prefer to learn from good poets who lead by example. again, Leanne often replied with a poem. she's the one who did most of our practices pages. she was a great teacher, i suppose i learn most from good teachers. the only thing i learn from people who carry a big drum is what bang bang bang sounds like. i tend to trust their teaching about as far as i can throw them, not to say i don't google where i can what they say but in general is just ego from one's bottom. a breath of shit to giggle at. i learn from everyone who writes a poem on this site. and i learn from the feedback i give which i openly admit is not of the better quality, how do i improve you ask... i read people as well as words and ii think.
