Y'all talking a lot of bullshit
I hope nobody innocent and wide-eyed takes your whinging seriously
Great, art all sucks, poetry all sucks, so why are you wasting your time here? Go file a tax document or whatever
I bet neither of you is remotely in the know about the many of the good poets writing today. Yet you cling to whatever fee examples from however many decades ago and clutch your pearls, as if you know what you're talking about. Give me a break. Go read a book.
Anyway Busker is the one straw manning, as usual, making absurd and hyperbolic statements about his betters.
I appreciate irreverence but some of y'all take it way too far. Sitting around talking shit about poets who are 100 times better than you in just their pinky finger.
Embarrassing
You argued against - there are no good poets - nobody made that argument
That’s a straw man argument
I can give greater detail if needed
