Reply #53: Thanks! I've had to suffer through a lot of bad poetry...

[Rabrrrrrr]

I knew an older woman once who styled herself a poet - she was awful - but she was "published" and so proud o fher work! And by published, she was taken by that poetry scam place that prints huge-ass hardbound volumes of acres of shit that people buy the book so that their poetry gets printed in it.

:shudder:

She was a really sweet, nice, loving woman, and I loved her to death. And her poetry was utterly sacharinely cloying and bad and awful and filled with faux sweetness and goodness and light, but not artistically done. Like if Thomas Kinkade had Parkinson's.
