Jack! don't leave just because you're raging! I'm sure you have good reasons! Try to accept your rage and that you can't be top-form every day, and do carry on, we all have moments of self-doubt, vulnerability, we all feel low at times...

In your latest poem I found these lines to be powerful and efficiently "chocking"!!! :

who pulls poetry
from the sky-

today I missed
the urinal,

dripped a little
poetry on the floor,

so it was worthwhile reading you.
Please do not leave, or at least not for long.

Friendly yours, Bar

The poet as 'angry young man' - it never did the likes of Dylan Thomas any harm to get angsty and petulant. You could well end up writing your best stuff when the demons are at play and disillusionment plagues your dreams.

This one is a good start on the road to accepting we all posess the failure gene... then post more when you realise your self-doubt was just a temporary phase we all go through.

Again with the humor!

Loved this pea-shooter swipe at poetry poseurs. The most effective part of the joke is the incongruous juxtaposition --to use two pretentious words-- of heaven and the "hell" of the squalid men's room.

Two birds with one stone indeed.

One quibble: It's certainly okay to come up with nonce words, but I don't know about "boredly." Even so, I think "atta boy" as you used it is fine (and fun.)

Keep the bricks flying, you Krazy Kat, you!
