lying poetry
2:25:15 - 1999-10-18
well diary, i just went to a poetry site i'm fond of and i keep seeing poems written by people who have know personal experience with what they're writing about. i have basically no personal rules about writing poetry except that one should write honestly. if i was, to say, start writing about being a masochist, for instance, then that would feel dishonest. more than that- it WOULD be dishonest, because i have no idea what the hell it feels like to be masochistic. it drives me nuts when i keep seeing girls writing about suicide and they're just trying to take the general idea of "what it must feel like" and putting it into a poem. and when the board's host, G, gets all concerned about people because of their poems, assuming that they would write about things they themselves feel...not what others have seemed to feel like. it's STUPID!!! well, that's my rant.
now i'm going to go eat some food b/c i didn't at school...i dare not touch the cheeseburgers anymore. or anything else there that isn't part of the Frito-Lay company(c; heehee, well i'm off...
