The problem with beautiful things is when we look back at what we did trying to capture them. Luckily for me, data formats and storage formats change, so everything I wrote before 1999 has vanished.
I always thought that it was the thought that counted. I’d feel a little sorry for them if they embarrassed themselves in public with bad poetry, but would appreciate the effort. Then again I was never the type to move anybody to poetry.
i had an awful poem written about me once. it was wonderful. teenage poetry is so often both hilarious and sincere, perhaps hilarious in its sincerety. whatever the reason, i kept it. it’s folded up on faded notebook paper somewhere.
I don’t know if I’ll ever be embarrassed for the poetry I wrote during the times I thought or even the times when I truly was in love. It is how I felt at the time. Sincere, honest, true. How can you be embarrassed by that?
I always thought there could be no worse feeling than knowing you had moved someone to awful poetry.

this is the truest thing i’ve ever heard. Poets, beware.

I absolutely will never discard my embarrassing love poem. One of the best things I ever recieved…even if the answer was no.
