DALLAS POET

This is some of the best work ive read so far from any poet in the valley including myself (Even though ive transplanted myself to dallas) Dont be to concerned out what others might think of this new writting style. Your on the right path, opening your mind and heart to a writing that maybe new to you and that my freind is what will allow you to grow as a writer opening yourself to the possibilities in writing, literature and the world. On that note i posted a comment on that church poem you wrote. That one goes head to head with this ispiration poem. Your work reminds me of one of my favorite poets Robert Bly. Keep reading my freind you are on the right path that is fusing craft with substance.
peace my little bro,

I am not concerned at all on what people think of my own writting style but i do know that a style similar to mine will turn off some readers since they have grown a customed to reading poetry in certain styles i have been told i should try to break it up into stanzas but if i do that it wont be read properly and i'm glad you noticed that i back up all my poems or writtings with some sort of substance

DALLAS POET

Dont worry about what the general audience thinks. Allthough yes you should probably break the poem into stanzas. If you are writing a slam poem write it the way you would read it or feel comfortable. If your working on form and technique, yes you would probably want to break your poem into stanzas where one thought ends and the other begins. r

Exactly i used this poem in a slam on friday night for the first round and this is the way it was written and it is also the way i read it. Yeah i am not working on the form and technique on this one it was more sort of the rhyme scheme. but i understand why some people would want it to be broken up into stanzas it would be alot easier for the eyes but it would also not be the way i want it cuz the way its set up now each line leads you into the next one but i will do one later tonight into stanzas on a differnt type of style
