You want to know something sad?
I kind of miss school in a way. You want to know something sadder than that? I kind of miss english classes. See I had a good teacher, a good group of students in the class – these two combined to make some funny times and great discussions. Also my english teacher was the main person I’d show my poetry to. See I would show the poem and then later on get a critique.
You can’t do too much better than having an english teacher to give feedback on your writing.
I think part of the reason I don’t write poetry as much nowadays is because I don’t really have access to this critique. When I write poetry now, I see it – and that’s about it. Yes I may show others, but they normally just go ‘wow it’s really good’. No in depth thoughts or analysis.
Where is the point of writing if there will be no audience to receive what you have written?
Ah well.
