Honestly, Good.

Poetry should not be about a lot of introspective dribble. Art is not introspection, but action. What do you do with what you feel. A baby cries. We cry, and we know how we feel when we cry, but poetry should not be blubbering and tears or any of the emotions exactly. Emotions are who we are. What we do is what we are, and in my opinion; you are a poet.

Thanks...Sweeney
