Poetry is about being brave and stupid all at once, poem writing is to live and die on
paper and to transcend the mundane.
Watch out for the anti-poet!

Hi,IIan, I've just joined Sydney Poetry and my first discussion post is coincidentally the exact same as this one. but unlike me you've answered what poetry is; me? I'm still uncertain, but i agree with you that it is something which can't be too refined or calculated.

 What kind of person do you consider the anti-poet? apart from politicians that is.

The anti poet is a dark figure who shoots down poets for their efforts, ridicules,
overly critical, attacks the poet for their works without justifying or if there is justification it is quite simple and baseless.
Hence my poem the anti poet I posted.

Hi Guys, 

Just joined last week and I find that I may have an inner-anti-poet.

it seems the more I read others work on this site

the more I question my own...I love to write, the feeling of expression

is pure ecstasy! Yet the shadow of doubt lingers at the end of every page...

any thoughts?

 

Regards,

Mia.
