Bad Poetry?

"Higher level" poets started out as lower level once... and any who forget that don't deserve to be allowed to share their work in a peer environment. 

Poetry is a whole lot more than sitting down to write, it's opening your eyes and learning to translate what you see into words, so that other people can see it too (or at least know where to look).  The more you read, the more directions you look in and obviously, the more you see.  Reading poetry also gives you tools to craft thoughts into words -- or turn fluid into static and back into someone else's fluid.  (No jokes about swapping fluids, thank you.)

See one, do one, teach one.  That's what we should be here for, in my opinion.
