hi there

2000, post it. I've got a 3000 word piece with a cherry. people will read it.

My dear, are you 12? Or merely American? If you are enjoying jacques work, then please stop writing. I have read your 'poetry' and it is the same as a trillion other angsty people who think that they are the first person to find someone else attractive or to have had some sort of passing relationship with a member of the opposite sex. We have all (yes,even me) had flutterings of the heart, but poetry is about expressing it in a way that is not banal. I'm afraid you failed spectacularly.

The clue's in the name, Maz. Simon Cowell. ABC's very own eunuch in the harem: he sees it done every day, he knows how to do it - but he can't do it himself! Check out his archive for proof: http://www.abctales.com/user/simoncowell Just another limp dick. Keep going Maz baby!

i think what *simon* is trying to say is that there is nothing new to write about. For your writing to stand out you need to present your idea in an original way, give the reader a new perspective. There are lots of excellent poets on here. Read and read it is the one of the best ways to improve. Juliet
