2triple0 - What exactly is your creative process when writing poetry, triple? I see you as a guy who doesn't think hard about what he says, he just says it, and this isn't necessarily a negative thing at all. Listening to the impulses, the voices in your head, and expressing them with immediacy has its advantages; it displays belief in your writer's instincts. I do think, however, that your discipline is off. Your form of self criticism is nearly not there at all, judging from the ups and downs and varied directions of the text. Stream of consciousness is fine, but I would like to see some clearer intentions. You've got some sharp wording which can be mistaken as rambling by some. Some writers go with their feeble attempts to describe things or make an innovative statement (I fall victim to this more often than not) but you have this honey badger way about you, this fearless way of plowing forward and marking the earth. At times, it acts as an obstruction for you because you lack refinement. Your style is very much an embryo of what it could be.
slecht - This was a simple yet substantive approach that will go over well on this site. You'll find that Cimmerian is also a proponent of a kind of rhyme-minimalism. On the poetry side, it is always a welcome art form because it encourages being a proponent of the "make every word count" movement. I thought it was cool, overall.
