no it isnt. poetry is a fantastic method of expressing your emotions through metaphoric expressions etc. but your poems are a big pile of meaningless sh*te. you've missed the point of poetry. i can make better (however very short) poems on the spot.

well technically it can be, but it's crap if you just write about, say, a pen which has no emotional connection to you whatsoever

Shut your faces and get off your high horses. Poetry is what you make it. If you want it to be crap, let it be crap. If you want to make it all high and arty, at least be honest about it.

I think some of you missed the point to my 'Poems For The Interlectuals Trilogy.' Fools.

hmmm

just because we don't like your poetry doesn't mean that we aren't open minded.

All u seem to be doing is trying to rhyme things off. You aren't using wordplay type things like alliteration or assonance. I can't see any play on words in your poems.

Flapper the fool lives on a hill,
Flapper the fool should take his pill,
Flapper the fool flys like a fish,
Flapper the fool, boom bang bish!

Flapper Man, as graceful as a bird
Flapper Man, like cows in a herd
Flapper Man, please give him 50p
So that Flapper Man can get some tea

Should someone see my sordid song
I claim sibilance and smoke me a bong


((So there - onamateapiea (whatever), alliteration, sibilance (whatever) and similes. Happy now? Btw I'm predicted A* at both English and History (which is basically English with facts). ))
