being a pretentious bastard about things will get you nowhere. people who make these videos take poetry way to seriously, they make it way to complicated. you have the wrong technique if you're out to just win awards fool. and shame on me for wasting my time watching it.

I think what he’s saying is that much modern poetry lacks personal inspiration and thought that actually has real meaning. Instead, like expressionistic art, it may inadvertently have a meaning. E.G.: “All the horror of life is ambiguous, / It means nothing to me. / So let it now be said, / That horror is for the dead.” At a casual glance it means nothing, but some readers may try to think about it. At this point, the meaning is manufactured in a reader’s mind who tries to make some sense of it.

@20MDM While I agree that it is annoying, there was no reason for you to be racist and call him a terrorist
I like this. Probably the best thing about this assembly-line approach to poetry is that it forces you to write and revise while directing you away from anxietites associated with writing (writer's block, fear of failure, lack of inspiration).

Thans, seiun85,
The video was unplanned, simply a monthly 8 minutes with friends. The poems at end were written using the method. A poem in 5 minutes. 12 poems an hour. 1 of the 12 will be worth holding to look at later. After writing 100 poems this way, the unconscious and conscious work together. And the resulting poems will be better than 90% of modern poetry. Including Billy Collins.
