Post subject: Journal Entry #1
(I'm the teacher's aid for the Creative Writing class at my school this semester...and as we did when I was a Sophomore, they have journals they must write in every day, for just five minutes. Loving to write, I chose to write during class time along with them, on whatever the topic of the day was. However, since I'm an aid, and not subject to all the binding rules of the class, I can take my own approach to any entry I choose. So here's number one~)
Topic: What makes a poem good or bad?
Just because you wrote a poem, that does not make you a poet. I hate seeing these people who will read somebody's horrible work and tell them it's the best thing they've ever read. That doesn't help the person one bit--it gives them a false sense of security. Now they will continue their terrible spree of bad writing, bringing misery to all who must critique it. Maybe that's slightly too harsh...maybe these people don't know a bad poem when they see one.
The color green
Know what I mean?
I will never be seen
Wearing the color green
There. That is a bad poem. If you ever read anything similar to the above lines, run away quickly before you, too, inflate that non-poet's silly little head.
(This one makes me seem arrogant...but really, I'm so tired of someone writing a poem like the one above and then saying, 'What do you think??' in this excited little voice...and it's just impossible to tell them how much it sucks...)

I was in an odd mood when I wrote this garbage.
