Just to be clear, re: my "poetry" - I don't present it here on this blog as if it is a hugely serious effort on my part, because it's not. I start and end all of it usually in the span of twenty minutes or so, right on the "create" page of my blog, and do next to nothing in the way of editing, paying attention to rhyme, meter or whatever else you're supposed to pay attention to when writing poetry. I just don't want anyone getting the wrong idea. I don't fancy myself a true poet. It's just that sometimes I can convey more feeling and intensity using a poetic form of writing. I do think I come up w/ some decent images and metaphors, and if I put more effort into it, I might actually come up w/ something half-way good, even better than good. But I sure as heck don't plan on making a craft or career of it, no. You know why? Most poetry is fucking annoying. So I'm trying to avoid being a pretentious, annoying, windbag. There's enough of them already out there. Bottom line is I mostly do this blog for myself, to exorcise the stuff that's sitting there in a rocking chair in the back of my brain. And sometimes the only way to do that is by pecking away at letters long enough to spell out a bunch of words that resemble, in form, a poem. So, please, don't judge. Actually, no, judge. Judge the hell out of me. I'll keep spilling it, regardless.
