RE: BAD POETRY IS TAKING OVER STEEMIT
Ah this comment is AMAZING. I'm too rushed to give you a deserving response, but thank you so much for your contribution! Super helpful! I hope lots of people read this! Keep in touch, k? Xx, Kay
I appreciate the sentiment! Thanks! Yes I will be around. I've even followed you :-). I was thinking about writing a longer post about this and maybe I will when I find the right words. I guess if I were to put it more concisely.... People look at the standards that have been set and say, why should I be judged by those? Why should I write for anyone else's pleasure but my own? They are right. You shouldn't write for anyone else if you don't want to. And that is where the so called "rules" come in, and by the way I don't call them rules. It is like the boxer who trains everyday and wins the title, but ultimately says I didn't do this to win adulation and awards. A lot of other people can do that too. No, I did this for my own reasons to become my own personal best, because I am the only person on this earth who can do that.
