What a charming poem! (or Anti-Poem... Is this the Dada version of a poem? I think maybe!)... The reason this poem is charming is because of it's bluntness - as well as the format. The way you use many words/synonyms to reiterate one thought is truly unique - and it's how many writers' minds work, so it's relatable. Also, the phrase 'intellectual blackmarket' - who woulda thunk it? It's great!

Me neither.
Oh, the poem: (but if it is a poem, and you wrote it, doesn't that make you a kind of poet?... uh oh...)
Interesting. I like all the words and phrases with slashes in between them. It adds to the fascinating quality of the piece. I rather like it. Keep writing.

I half feel I know what it means, half don't.
But it's a good, inspiring feeling.
In other words, I only comment on the pieces I like.
I like the words of this piece. I can't describe my feelings beyond that.

Y'know, considering the quality of the work, this poem's title seems kinda ironic. =P Excellent work.
First off, I love how you structured this one. The bracketing/bolding/etc of words kinda gave it extra flavour that drew me in (yeah, I litterally judge books by their covers some times. _ sue me). I think you hit the nail right on the head for two reasons, mainly since 1) I've never really believed that poets should actually refer to themselves as such (I dunno, seems kinda egotistical), and 2) Most modern poets are nothing like those poets of ye olde days, so you can't really lump them into the same category.
...and hell, if that's wrong, you made me think. XD Awesome job on that.
Still, I loved the word usage, and "& I hate poets/(except the ones who have not discovered mirrors/audiences/themselves/& the rules/requests/desire to please others)" was an excellent stanza. So excellent, I think I'll favourite this one. ^_^
And hey, thanks for the multitude of, um...kind reviews. XD I'll try my best to pay ya back for 'em sometime.

I love this. Especially the concept of the intellectual black market.

I favorited this. Because I could. :) ( And because this is a totally AWESOME poem. I feel like it belongs somewhere, with something, but I can't think of what.)

If this poem had to be summarized in one word, it would be - okay, that's too hard. Let's see:I like the reference to garbage, because this poem is sort of mismatched with the italics and boldfaces, /'s and &'s. You are a master, in this poem, and spacing and making use of the (web)page. Nice.

Ouch.
This completely sizzles at all the poets out there who who really don't write much but prepackaged teen angst. And it's kind of ironic that the message gets through using exactly the same formatting that us teenies use. Good job.

Wow! Great job! (I know, I give sucky generic compliments, but whatever) I really liked this, especially the way you used italics and boldfaced text.
We seem to be dipping into similar idea bins. Odd.
(Also, you're right. Evanescence DOES rule.)

"Poets are profound only to themselves."
Best line I've read in more than a week. And I've read a lot this week.
