good question, but steal has two for sure

HEY! What's all this talk of pretentiousness and weird instrumentation? That's our turf, so unless you want to start sumpthin', just back off man!

Thanks again.

I don't suppose you know of any way I can get my poems to a larger and more - let me say - appreciative audience?

The thing is, all these poems are Creative Commons, so I'm not sure how I stand about publishing them and suchlike.

If you can at all, possibly help with furthering my career in the poetical world, I'd be much appreciative.

I didn't think my poems were stepping on new ground, I thought they were just absurd and weird (but with a meaning, of course, none of my poems are meaningless).

I do plan to continue on, of course, it's just mood seems to predict my writing style.  I did write some new lines the other day, but with me, I find if I do not complete the poem within 10 to 15 minutes, it normally never gets finished.

O RLY?

Why thanks.

It's a natural gift, I believe.  I don't have much history in reading poetry, really.  I do plan to read up on poetry though, as I'm still not sure about structure and suchlike, although my poetry is abstract anyhow.

I'm not sure which poems you've read, so some are bound to be worse than others.  My best ones have been my more more recently posted ones (in my opinion anyhow).  Of course, a lot of the poems (especially the absurdist/dada/Wyatt type ones) are only understandable by me.  I like to be as abstract as possible and make people think about my poems.  I hate straight-forward poems with standard and/or rhymed verses.  Although I do plan to dabble in this field myself, just to improve my own writing.

I'm glad you believe I have potential.  I often wonder, especially as I've had few "hits" on dA (never the best place to post such things anyhow, it's more of a visual place).

Oh and I rarely write poetry, just so you know.  It comes to me rarely, I don't like writing poetry when I'm not in the mood to do so.  I have moments of inspiration and I also find that often I have to be in a more depressed mood to write.  I don't get depressed anymore, so my writing has suffered due to it.

I'll help out your cause and PM you them all in one giant chunk of text.

It's all in the forum somewhere, under the poetry thread, but otherwise, you can find it at deviantArt.  I'll find the link.

Found it: http://thegeck0.deviantart.com/

Well I did the online free test twice and I came out as INTP both times.  Strangely, my Thinking percentage was 1% though.

Let me know your thoughts on my poetry.  I'll have a browse of the archives and try and find post with them all in.

Yeah, I'm almost dead-on, except for the prone to crying aspect, it also reflects my career path fairly well (poet)
