Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Why would you think there's no room for dissent!?

This is Yahoo of course you can choose not to like someone's poems!.!.!.and people can disagree with you!. It doesn't make them right!. It doesn't make you right!.

It's all opinion!. I think she can write and I generally like her work!. You don't!.

The world can accept that disagreement without falling off its axis!.

Percy: I just read "Said the Rose", I am more a reader of modern free verse, but this was nicely put together!. I liked this sequence a lot:

But I hear the storm-winds stirring
In their lair;
And I know they soon will lift me
In their giant arms and sift me
Into ashes as they drift me
Through the air!.

That was beautiful writing!. Thanks for the poem suggestion!. My formal tastes tend to run toward poems like Hopkin's "Pied Beauty"

Edit 2: Hmm, well I can't speak to any "blocking for dissenting opinion"!. I do know that sometimes occurs because of typical trolling on YA where it becomes very abusive (personal attacks and the like)!. Not defending Elys!.!.!.just saying I have no idea how someone manages their account!.

What I know is that I've given strong critique to lines that haven't worked for me in a number of people's poems on here (and had it done in my work) most people just take that as a part of the territory--and I haven't been blocked (to my knowledge) or blocked anyone else!. That is not to say that the writer didn't sometimes criticize my suggestions for their poem!. I will block (rarely) when someone admits to not liking poetry in the first place and then rails on all poetry just because for some reason it shouldn't exist in any form!. I don't have time for that!.

I can't recall what I've said on Elyslund's poetry but it is all my honest opinion based on the work itself nothing more!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Are you the flavor of the month dissident with little or no postings, little or no apparent knowledge of poetry and little or no apparent common sense who will now tell us how it is!? Speak on, I await your enlightening!. And who said Wednesdays would be dull!Www@QuestionHome@Com

She thinks she can write poetry because she CAN write poetry!. You have obviously missed the best pieces!. When she first showed up, last year, she posted a thing about sitting on the couch with God!. That image still disturbs me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She is a published poet, one of the best modern poets of the era!. The Morning Poems are for fun!. I pity your lack of knowledge and inability to tell real from fun poetry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She CAN & Does write POETRY,,,,She could be Funny ,,Witty & Yes Serious !!! What Am I Detecting A bit of ,,,,,,,,,,JELOUSLY!!!

Perhaps when you really learn to read you'll understand!. And a refresher course in manners wouldn't hurt!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you got some personal problem with her!? That AUTUMN WAR she just posted on here is really impressive!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I left a perfectly reasonable comment about one of her poems (I'm sure you'll be able to check it out) and I was blocked, so I'm with Iano on this!. If you can't take honest criticism, don't put your stuff up for comment!.

And to all those who are being rude to Iano, you're the ones who need lessons in manners!. If you don't agree with the guy (if it is a guy) say so, but there's no need to attack him for asking a question!. Grow up!.

Sptfr: Yeah, learn the difference - go look at what I said - it wasn't an 'attack', merely my opinion!.

Judith S: You just started Feb 13th (unlucky for us) - do you really think a mere 4 months head start makes your opinions any more valid than mine, or anyone else who signed on after you!? You're obviously just a child!. What age are you - 13!? Or is that just your IQ!?

IQ of 148, o sad one!. There's an old saying: Better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it!. You're living proof as to the veracity of that!. I'm astounded that you don't seem to see how much you're embarrassing yourself with your petulant rant!. You don't even address the points I make, which merely proves that logic and reason are over your head!. Now, go and play in the traffic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don`t know who you are or what you are because you hide behind a shadow!. Talk about being a coward, you don`t even have a history!. You just got here July 14th!. Where do you get off attacking a beautiful published poet like Elyslund!?!.You need to do your homework!. When you can post something anywhere near to Elyslund then maybe your comment might mean something to us!. Otherwise go and learn to be a decent human being!. In my opinion that Is going to take a lot of work!. Why don`t you post something!? Scared!? you should be!. Cowards are one of the lowest scums of the Earth!. I will
be waiting for you to post a poem!. Got the balls!? Oh,by the way don`t think you are getting stars because we agree with you!. It`s to let everyone read what a jackass you are!. You have asked 2 questions and your Q&A are private!. That gives us the whole picture of what kind of jerk you are!. You came to the site 2 days ago and you jumped on one of the most established poets here!. WOW!.
When are you going to come out from under your slimy rock!?
Why don`t you give us a chance to rip you to shreds!. Oh,
forgot you`re In hiding!. COWARD!. I never claimed to be a poet!. And probably never will be one!. But I am a good judge of people and you do not belong In that catagory!. You`re just nasty and you hate yourself and your pitifuy life!. Rock On!.
Hey kid, You just attacked us so who needs to grow up!? You
just started June 22nd!. You also have private Q&A!. Do I smell Chicken!? Show us what you got !. NOTHING!? Thought so!. Don`t show your "STUPID" side!.
Percy, I see you jumped on the "STUPID" band wagon!. You came here July 13th with private Q&A!. What are you people so afraid of!? Why are you hiding!? Show us what you got!.
lano, Did you learn all that In kindergarden summer school today!? Oh wait,They are much smarter than you!. Please don`t talk anymore, your embarrasing yourself!. Nobody Is going to forget what you have done today!.
kid, I could be 13 or have an IQ of 13, but then that would make me older than you and have an IQ higher than yours!.
Your best bet would be to stop speaking now!. You are digging yourself into a big hole!. I`m thrilled to see that you don`t want to come back to this site!. BYE-BYE
percy,at least I have friends, something you don`t know anything about!. If you had friends you would learn how to act around them!. Bad parenting I assume!. I am also glad that you won`t be coming back to this site!. Nobody wants you here!.
BYE-BYE to you too!.
lano, we are very glad that you also chose not to come back to this site!. So BYE-BYE to you too!.
kid,percy also started on the 13th!. OOOH,I`m scared!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, Iano, that's got her fan club on the boil, but from what I've seen of her poetry, I'd agree with you!. That said, her stuff is probably typical of its type - it's just that this type of poetry isn't on a par with the 'Masters'!. Hey, fan club - read George H!. Miles THE ROSE and see how poetry SHOULD be written!.

Why be hurtful and snotty!. If she's blocked you it's not because you didn't like her poetry, it's probably because you are trolling her just as you are right now!. Your arrogance is astounding!. If you don't like Elysabeth's poetry then don't read it and keep your nasty comments to yourself!. As for being Elysabeth's fans, we most certainly are and that's because she is a wonderful person as well as a wonderful poet and we've come to respect her for it!. You have missed out and that's too bad for you!.

lano and Percy, you are both such experts on what poetry is or should be!.!.!.let's see some of your work!.
