good god

Will it ever end?

she understood the innocence of dying???

I'd draw and quarter someone for writing a line like that. I'd draw and quarter myself for writing that. I hate to be all judgemental and coming down hard on Poetry Daily, whose mission I fully support. But god, I'm just drowning in the mediocrity these days and it's making me cranky..This is why I don't write reviews of things I don't like. Bad poems make me angry for having wasted time reading them. And VD is not much better today--rather ho-hum and ordinary. I'm not familiar with either poets work on the whole, but dear god I hope they write better poems than these....

I hate to come off sounding all superior, but hell I feel like I am--even at my worst-- and not just me dozens and dozens of poets I know could outshine these...
