Writing poetry

It's a very nice poem, Robert. It really summarizes why people write poetry.

Your comment is much appreciated.  Regards, Robert.

As a reader of your poetry, I am glad you write poetry. Thanks and hugs, (O)-(O) xo

You,re welcome and your comments are always appreciated.  Regards, Robert.

Beautifully stated robert. We all have our reasons.
Best of luck in the comp.

Many thanks.  Regards, Robert.

Glad I'm playing in your brain abit...ok. I small degree of (positive?) influence?   Regards, Robert.

No.  Not at all.  You and I both know that we  submitted items that were way way way out in left field and totally contrary to the specified rules. (I actually asked them to remove mine). You must agree that our  poems were not at all what they were looking for.    For now, I am quite sure you are working on a submission to my competition:  Christmas Crime.  Can't wait to read that....Kisses, Robert.

So you do not write for an audience other than yourself?  If so, why do you post it to a public forum.

I write in order to ''liberate'' myself and possibly to meet with ''kindred souls'' here and there.  No claim that I possess special skllls (like some.......and I deleted your ramblings on that  mail message)..

How funny, since you have never demonstrated that my posts were ramblings, not to mention not on point.  I take it that what you want here is praise, not analysis of the quality of your submissions and that you can't stand it when people not only claim that you do not write well but provide solid and articulate evidence that their claims are true.

In any case,  are you going to try to meet the Alexandrine challence I sent you?

This is essentially a series of declarative sentences -- i.e.  prose in line breaks.  And dull prose at that. since there's no  any concrete appeal to the senses here, let alone any consistent or recognizable meter.  What's here that would make a reader feel or experience anything or make them see something with their eyes shut?

For people (namely you?) who have huge aspirations (Poet laureate in sight?),  I refer you (again) to Edmund Soencer's Fairie Queene.
   36,000 lines.  Over 4,000 stanzas of Spencerian stanzas which consist of:
           8 iambic pentameter lines
PLUS   1 line of six iambic feet (an alexandrin).

All our efforts pale very greatly against such.  Even your efforts..............

I really do not care what you think.

I asked you to post something in "the Alexandrine form".  How telling me how Spencer wrote, instead of doing what I asked you to do is a pretty good indication that you know you have no ability to produce something in this form, not to mention that by your own criterion of what it takes for someone to be deserving of the title "poet",  you are not among those who rightly bear it.

Are you going to produce something in  "the Alexandrine form"  (which is not the same thing as writing a few lines in 6 iambic feet) or not?

In any case,  thanks for attacking my person instead of dealing with what I said.   It shows what kind of a man you are.

It seems that you hurt lightly.  ''Attacking'' is a huge word.

I'm surprised that you recognize "huge words".  In any case, an attack upon a person is exactly what ad hominems are.

They are also fallacious and wholly off point.

You are toooooooo silly.  Don't bother me anymore.
