Well...there ARE tooles and rules that need to be applied, believe it or not. The author's sponteneity and mindset has nothing to do with the end product.
the idea is usually to tell the writer WHY the poem is bad, not that it just sux.
Mbe he *was* confused, his feelings half-baked w/huge periods of emptiness when he wrote this. Mbe his emotions so overwhelmed his intellect that he could only come up w/monosyllabic words to say what he was thinking.
Maybe...but so?
Or mbe he scrawled that in blood on his arm w/a dull penknife... that would imply effort & craft, lol. I'm making this up as I go, of course, but I think you get the idea.
That would imply he's an emo
I get your idea, and for the sake and purpose of this particular forum, it's fine, it's a medium for him to get it off his chest and share etc etc etc
