Community Thread / Tips and Questions

I've been writing a lot more recently. Been trying different forms and playing around with them. Working on a Villanelle at the moment but I'm not sure if I like it or not yet.
 
Would songs of ninja turtles, videogames, cartoon characters, boobs, manginas, and vin diesel be categorized in the previously mentioned categoriez of unfunny songs?
 
I don't really view writing as a competition.

"Who can write the best about something" basically boils down to who can appeal, impersonally, to the largest majority with empty prose.

Doesn't appeal to me.
 
Yo son, speak for yourself.

Me and my frienRAB drink 2 ways:

During school, it's cheap alchohol, cause we can get 40's ourselves.
During the summer, we get good beer and liqour cause our college buddies are home.

Regardless, gross alchohol sucks, nobody lies to themselves about it, but for me, it was never to be cool, and always to have fun.
 
Hell yeah!

...and am I the only red-blooded male that doesn't actually find Angelina Jolie that attractive? Hell, I wouldn't say no, but I think she's over-rated somewhat.
 
Hmm... good point.

And the "how to do a crit" thread is now down past page three, lost in the recesses of good and bad poetry...

Y'know, sometimes someone posts something and really surprises you. This n00b named Jonathan (somewhere aroudn 69 total posts) posted a work called "My Reflections" that totally blew me away. It was sincerely amazing, and was totally loaded with imagery and deep metaphor, and had a lot of oopmh to it.

Then there are the times that someone crits one of yours and they find stuff you didn't even think of. One time I posted a song and someone liked how it alternated between a dreamy state and a harsher "reality" state. Hell, I wrote the thing and didn't even catch that kinda stuff.
