homegirl, but if you were trying to, you'd probably hire a good editor to

help you out.

Cameo, that's why I'm not here as often as I used to be, and I hate edtiing

cause I, myself, am horrible at it. LOL

Poets are among the "worse"... shouldn't that be "worst?"

... I know what you mean.  And I especially hate the use of emoticons... .  P.S. If you're such a great writer, why waste your time here?  Surely there are more profitable, fulfilling venues.

I know the rules of grammar for articles

But poetry confuses me.  But them I am not trying to publish a book on poetry.

shelly and teddy, oh so melodramatic! excuse me for telling the truth!

But I still love your poetry...but if you send it to me to edit FOR PUBLISHING, don't hate me for marking it all in red.

Hi there. You make some great points here for serious poets

I'm not a serious poet but I read what you say and need to apply this to my novel writing.
