What to watch out for in
poets? Here are a few things
I've learned : Beware of female
poets with tattoos. Divorced.
Who wear funny shirts and
align themselves with other
liberal and often ambi-sexual
women. They may write 'poems,'
but I've not got time for their
works and concerns.
-
Now, to the men, mostly the
same applies. But beware of gay
sensibilities and funny-shaped
beards. Things that are fussy
and take way too much time.
Watch out for them too, with
all their exclamatory emotion
and effusive flamboyance.
-
Ladies with children, who then
start writing poems about, or to
their kids and kids' futures? Get
off that pot, immediately. Also,
any poem somehow connected
to politics - bail immediately.
It's usually some bitch with a
sense of defiance and entitlement
they somehow connect to their
issue of anger. Pippa passes.
-
Sports guy poems : Beware. Keep
far away from those 'My Son, the
Slugger' panegyrics to as yet an
unborn talent. Rounding third,
yet another turd.
