It didn't mean to aim any ill feelings towards you specifically, so my apologies if it seemed to. <br /><br />Thanks for getting back to commentRussell Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819186642068795644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894249492944646981.post-8388221949845764132011-03-31T05:00:23.855-07:002011-03-31T05:00:23.855-07:00contradictory is how i found it.
you said that pe...contradictory is how i found it.<br /><br />you said that people rap to hide their emptiness.<br /><br />then you say you whored yourself out with gags for points.<br /><br />???<br /><br />then you have another go at rapping implying that it can't be meaningful words said in a meaningful way. <br /><br />again this is pretty rich considering the lighweight content of your second set of poems.<br /><br />i'm not saying you should like rap type poetry, it's fair enough if you don't and it's blatantly a matter of taste.<br /><br />for my part i don't much care for feelings and flowers type poetry read too close to the mic in a weak voice from a page held in a shaking hand.<br /><br />if it seems that i'm taking it personally it's because myself and the other chemical poets are pretty much the only rap type performers in the edinburgh slam scene so your comments felt very much like a direct dig at me/us.<br /><br />and by the way if you enter yourself in a spoken word/performance poetry competition it's pretty pointless getting shitty about there being a lot of focus on the way it's spoken and performed eh no?<br /><br />by the way please don't click on my name at the top of the previous post. it's a rickroll that will crash your browser. petty, vindictive and unneccessary. i apologise.ticklenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4894249492944646981.post-84980124373129555352011-03-31T04:10:01.636-07:002011-03-31T04:10:01.636-07:00Hi Tickle

Certain styles of reading aren't my thing, thus the blog post and poem, but I didn't want to seriously offend anyone. Making poetry more accessible to folks is a damned good thing, however it's done.
