Actually it's not that bad man, if you like to do this, don't let anyone dog you. If you wrote that yourself it took some guts to show it off to everyone, I send you my congrats just on that alone. Keep up the poetry bro <IMG SRC="smilies/cool.gif" border="0">

I can't open your webpage.
If you like some heavy poetry, read the war poets...Wilfred Owen or Siegfied Sassoon.
"The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe.

Why war poetry? Wilfred Owen only had one great poem. Probably wouldn't have been great if he survived, eh.
Poe, yeah, he had an influence on modern poetry, but who really knows that. Most poets only look back to Whitman, Dickenson, then William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens... Poe is overlooked. Old poetry is not really readable in the correct lens anymore anyways. Gotta stick to more modern stuff. Gotta look for the next great thing.

Any luck with that yet? Who do you like who's current? Let me take a minute and see if I can recommend a modern poet...Denise Levertov had one poem I liked VERY much...she died in '97...umm....
Modern poetry in my opinion doesn't have the fantastic drama you can find in older poems. Who writes a good ballad anymore?
Read old poetry but still support the current scene. There are some very good (and sometimes funny) poems to be found in poetry/literary journals. Though if you're looking to get published I urge you not to just submit your own poetry to journals, buy them or subscribe and read other people's stuff too!

I like poetry but i can never do them myself <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> But thanks for the site! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">
I don't like Levertov. She died of lymphoma in 97, yeah. She became a "political" poet during vietnam, and after that she was shit. It's like what Sickboy says in Trainspotting, how bowie and lou reed were great in the seventies, but afterwards their work was "okay" but really, in comparison, it's shite.
