Well, thankyou! = )

Yes, my style is definitly unique. I haven't exposed myself to a lot of contemporary poetry and I think that's a big part of it. What I write isn't influenced by the styles of anything else because I myself haven't been influenced.

Then again... I'm just a weird person sometimes. I use bleach to put tigerstripes on my pants, and I've painted a few Tshirts. I wasn't influenced by much growing up so my everything is my own uniqueness.

Come to think of it, I ought to take a picture of those pants and show them on deviantart.

Very welcome. I, for one, am thoroughly enamoured with your writing style, so congrats for...not being influenced? Haha

...and thank you so much for your comments!
I s'pose I still have a few years before beating myself up about it, but after reading your pieces mine all paled ((rather dramatically, I might add)) in comparison.

Your comments were very appreciated though.

(Hehe, you don't sound so weird. Your tiger-striped pants would be an amusing addition to your gallery.)

I guess my poetry shows that a person doesn't need to study peotry to make something that can be appreciated (Although, a lot of people that really take their poetry seriously will critique the heck out of me by suggesting improvements.) Sometimes, suggested improvements are a bit more like criticism, "I can do it better, I would change this, and that... ... and then it'll be *good."

Wow, I never thought of taking a picture of my pants.
Although, I did once wonder if painted clothing could be an in demand thing.
Some day, I might get out some tattoo looking stencils, and airbrush some wicked designs.
Pants look like... pants.
Maybe I'll be a millionaire some day.

Haha, get a model to wear the pants, take a picture and call it "conceptual art". Works for the rest of them, eh?

I'm glad you don't take the critiques too seriously. I quite like the unique voice you have in it.
Critics often don't like poetry done in styles outside their comfort zone. Kinda silly that they'd limit it like that, hmm?
