Well...all poetry doesn't have to be emotional; if you describe the conditions in your poem adequately enough, people will get the emotional component despite themselves.

That's true, there are many reasons why most poetry doesn't strike a chord with me, though.

Every now and then I'll want to write one, and there was a period I just banged out shit poem after shit poem - but in general I'd be more comfortable with less restricting structure and a broader range of creative expression - plus like I said it's easier to step outside myself with all that leg room.

The reason why so many poets have such sad and tragic lives is because they analyze their poetry too goddamn much.

I thought the poem was very good. Keep it simple, get your point across, hit the bullseye with a dagger. Like Parker.
