What iz goin' on? 8D

Hey 8D

Ohhhh now I've got it! Yupyup, I think I've got the whole solution right here.
The solution is:
I never said a poem had a specific form.
I gave suggestions on what great poets have done and what usually works as well as ideas to consider.
You thought my comments implied that I thought all poems must have a form.
No.
That does not reflect my oppinion at all.
Yay for solutions! =D

Well, it's hard not to take a little offense at the first part, but I forgive you. True, I have a loooong way to go, but you do not know why or how.
Also, how do you know you are so correct. -.^
And . . . I never said a poem had to be a specific way.
Tell me where I said "had." XDD!
I only wish to convey that a poem can, indeed be a mass of random words, but good poetry requires more than that, yupyup! I am not a poet and my creative writing major is based on story telling, not poetry.
Therefore, I have a long way to go, indeed, but not for the reason you think I do.
If I did not have so much left to learn, why would I be in school? If I could write a best selling novel at this moment, I would not need to go to school. The point of going to school is to accept that one has much to learn, one is willing to learn it, and one usually wrong about . . . pretty much anything and everything.
The faster one accepts this, the better one's life becomes. I may be wrong about what a poem requires. I am simply vomiting information I deduced from studying and closely reading poetry. I know a poem can be a mass of words. However, if it is only a mass of words, is it really a poem? -.^
I do not mean it in a way that, "Oh, it's not a poem if it's blah blah blah." I simply mean that one does not have as much control over their writing as they think. How do you know your poem does not want to be a short story? Or a long story? How do you know your short story doesn't want to be a poem?
I merely give suggestions. A critique on any writing isn't about fixing to make it better. It's about suggestions. Suggesting this and suggesting that. If you don't make suggestions or recieve them, how does one improve?
Yay! =D
By the way, if you recieved many comments from me as your Email states, it's because I decided to sum them all up into one. I promise they weren't mean XDD! I merely wanted to put them together into an easier to reach format with more smiley faces WOO!
I look forward to your reply, I love talking to people about writing!
