A Worthwhile Endeavour A word, a verse, a stanza overrun by lifeless hazards: "Teen poets"! Spinning cluelessly and randomly rhymes of idiocy and fantasy- Sheer hipocrisy. Acclaiming worthless pieces timeworn verses no one seizes- Hollow scenes. "He left me today"/"Daddy's spanking parade"/"No one loves me anymore"/"Had enough, I'm leaving home!"/"They say I'm a whore, Ooh! I think it's true"/"Picked up a rubber and I thought of you"/ Ah, the literacy. Carry on, grab a cup of tea! Nothing is more worthwhile than reading Teen Poetry! |

er, actually you can get to read such poetry in Open #20 too..  some poems are cliched perhaps but they are heartfelt nonetheless and for that reason alone, i feel that such poetry should be encouraged...anyway, i think that it is only through writing that one may mature...if writing such drivel will help me to grow eventually, then why not? |

Teens are not the only ones with those problems. By the same token- those are not the only topics teens write about. Heh... no need to be judgemental, can't we all just get along?  Why is it that we are at our most ingenius only when trying to destroy the things that keep us alive and thriving? |

It's one thing to say what you feel, and it is quite another to insult an artform by ignoring all aspects of it. This is not a poem against expression, on the contrary. What is the difference between say, an essay and a poem? Can you not express yourself in both styles? The difference is a combination of structure and syntax- essence. So until these impostors know how to distinguish and differ I think this poem stands true... ...in essence. |

Hello Winston, so nice to see you. So nice to read you, and indeed nice to see a reply on the replies. Another splendid poem, and I'll have to say that I agree with you in every aspect without pointing out names. This poem is expressive and a beautiful analytical realization that has been bothering ME for a while, and it's nice to see a poem about it. You confronted the problem well, and without naming or harsh insulting words that could offend. I enjoyed this poem very much and hope to see more...  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Who whoo nice one Winston. Anyway, keep up the good work and reach for the um stars? That sounds clicheish let me start again lol Just like your poem reads. Keep striving for your true verses..because they are coming up really well. You are showing emotions right up your sleeve and you are not afraid to be direct yet show a little of mystery as well. ALWAYS be creative. And it certainly is looking that way. Something that for me Robert Frost never understood but oh well lol [This message has been edited by deadeyes (05-31-2002 05:10 PM).] |
