i stayed up until 3 am last night posting my poetry. because i was so tired and severely irritated with the stupid categories assigned for submitting art, i forgot to set all of them to comments/critiques disabled.

dont get me wrong, i appreciate everyone's comments (good and bad - well maybe not the fucker who just said one of them 'sux'), but that wasn't why i posted my poems. so ill say why again - i only posted my poetry for archival purposes only.

someone commented that one of my poems was disorganized. since i disabled comments, i will respond here:

1) i labeled the poem under the open category, which by definition means the poem has no organization. the only structure it does have is 4 line sequences, and a rhymning scheme that abruptly cuts off.

2) the way i write is stream of consciousness which doesn't have any organization.

i believe very strongly that the criticism of poetry and prose is completely pointless. i believe that authors and creators create everything on purpose. every word, every stroke, every choice is on purpose. and that doesnt need to be criticised. the end product is exactly what the maker intended the audience to see. one of the many examples i use of this is a dubbed version of any movie or tv episode.


so i will never go back and change anything that i have written. i wish it to stay the way i wrote it many years ago. in other words, i dont want to dilute my 15 year old mind set with an increased vocabulary and better understanding of the english language at 22 years old. its just stupid and destroys the point.

so when i hear that my poem was disorganized, i suppose my reply would be yes and no. apparently my mind was in disarray at the time of writing but i also purposely wrote without later going back and reorganizing anything.

next time ask yourself before citicising something, was this on purpose or not?
