Bad Poetry?

Everyone here seems to convey similar messages: Poetry can be bad; and poetry imroves only when the poet is receptive and doesn't treat his work like it could be found on page 47 of the Bible. Ruth, I have received similar feedback to my comments. I've been called arrogant (probably right), untactful (which is a tactful way of putting it), and far worse for pointing out to someone who had written 3 cowpies worth of script that if they respected their own work, they would at least take the time to run it through the spell-checker.
And Jasmine, I love what you said like the sun and the moon and the sky and the flowers and teddy bears.
