Bad Poetry?

<< Previous Next >>

 

Wherever I go I am always the only children's writer/poet.  I don't know where other children poets post their dribble or even if such a site exists. 

I'm sure some of you see a title like "Hungry Hippos" and think what the hell is she doing here?  There goes the poetry site. She can't be a serious poet with her goofy foolishness but I am serious.

There are many types and styles of poetry and even good poets write bad poetry sometimes.  I once knew a guy who I thought wrote terrible poetry but was great at giving feedback. 

I guess my point is; if a writer is truly serious at crafting their work, they will take suggestions implement them and learn from their mistakes. Having an unbreakable backbone would be good too.

Editors have standards for what they consider publishable.  Holding our work to that standard is what we are all striving for.
