i feel your pain. i havent really been able to write much, or finish what i do start writing.

I've been writing a lot more recently. Been trying different forms and playing around with them. Working on a Villanelle at the moment but I'm not sure if I like it or not yet.

Remember the time when that dude was busted for plagiarism on here?

Good times.

was he the guy that posted an old taking back sunday song? that was lol.

Ahhh... the good times that were had. *tear*

"...in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince. "

that was fuun

no the one im thinking of was a lot more serious. The dude that had his work plagiarised posted on here saying he was gonna file a law suit and wanting the perpetrator's detail etc etc. It was lulzy for all those not involved.

i vaguely remember something like that. i thought the guy was an idiot and didnt pay much attn. it would be great to find that thread(s).

was that sloth or the other one?

the real crime behind the sloth one was that he seemed alright. a plagiarist and a thief, but alright.

sloth did some awesome stuff back in the day

yeah that was the dude, Sloth.

read this poem today
sometimes poems are just so dead on i have to say
damn.

You drunken

your filth

and sordidness
I envy
you

It is the very face

itself

abandoned

commital

to dispair

Ha! The day I drop in between classes is the day I see my name... Weirrrrrd.
Heh, yeah, I posted SOME stuff I didn't write... and it bit me in the ***.
Oh well... I still wrote everything else. I still write poetry occasionally.
I'm a journalist though, so I write articles of the time.

Kitsch, personally, I only like some of WCW's stuff. A lot of his writing doesn't fit me well.

Surf, Tojes, RunAmok...
*tips hat to old friends*

sup man

what kind of journalism you doing?

I haven't read much, I have a book of selected poems, and most of the stuff in there is good. I say I like about 70% of his poetry.

plz crit

Hey folks I'm trying to choose modules for my 2nd year English lit degree and one of the options is 'Creating Poetry' where you study poetry forms pretty deeply and create your own portfolio. I'm really interested but I'm not sure if I'll come across as a bit of a pretentious twat if I'm like 'look at me I'm a wannabe poet'.

Am I overthinking it? Should I just go for it?

You are overthinking it. If poetry interests you, then take the course. Worrying about seeming pretentious is silly.

Yeah you're probably right. I worry too much what others think, I guess.

do it.

youre not opposed to the scholarly approach to poetry from what ive seen you post on these boards.

That's true. I much prefer/find it easier to write within forms and find the restraint of technical aspects to poetry really interesting to study... so it probably would be a good choice.
