Question: Our Elaine says my new book discussion is too hard and you guys don't want the basics (again)!. Is it true!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I hope I am wrong, but it seems that the poets are not answering your questions about the Basics of English poetic language!. Perhaps they are more interested in expressing their feelings without needing to study how to do so!.

As for your additional comment, I don't know anyone who works harder than the Captain of a ship!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me it is "too" hard!. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to computers!. I'm on the site right now and just realized I was looking for this discussion in the wrong place (I was clicking on the regular forum)!. I found the book discussion thumbnail and the link to the Best American Poetry 2007 now, so I'll be giving it a shot!.

I'd just like to mention that the fact that you scroll down from most recent to the first post is a bit of an orange barrel for me, though, and I've never participated in anything like this, so if I seem disoriented I apologize!.

Tell Elaine to keep pushing, there are a lot of people that could use a recap of poetry fundamentals--most importantly in my selfish opinion, me!.

I'm not part of your group, nor do I know Elaine!.

But I am assuming that the purpose of the group is to improve writing, with publishing in mind!. Publishers and editors are not mean!. They will not tell you when your stuff is awful!. They will simply clip a rejection slip to it!.

I used to hate my profs in school!. They brandished the red pen without mercy!.!.!.but I was a better writer for it!.

If you are writing for catharsis, you won't care if someone is "mean"!. But if you dream of being a serious writer!? Find someone articulate, and let them be as mean as they can!.

Just my two cents!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Elaine is trying her best!.Her sincerity to literature and poetry in particular, is highly sensed!.
Discussing (The basics) is a very good subject, and should continue; but its the technical aspect of computer usage that may annoy the participants!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Just the facts, Sir" pined the Sgt!.
But Sgt, poetry has subtleties
complexities, musicologies!.!.!.!.
"That's it! I am arresting you!"
For what!?
"Assault of senses with poetic
terms!" "How do you plead!?"
(Tis vagueness now I seek
ambiguity, obtusity, a
befuddlementing dodge)
Sir!.!.!.I plead poetic!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Double her salary and agree with everything she says for the next two months!.

I don't think it's true!. I'd love to sit here and learn and read all day, I'm just too darn busy!. Maybe I should hire an assistant!? I know my knees would appreciate it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I thought fundamentals were people who took religion WA---AY too seriously!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
