See where I am going wiff diss?
I like how Blandy starts asking all these questions and then accuses the one answering them of being a liar because he doesnt like the answers lol.
It's not that I don't like the answers, it's just that you refuse to give any.
My panties never bundle. I wear proper fitting ones with good breathable material. Organic cotton is my favorite. ♡
I actually sold a lot of graphic work commercially @Blurt.
Don't be shy, Jomo. Let's see the bills.
Actually @Blurt, joking aside, it's a lot easier to sell visual art than it is to sell one's writing or poetry.
Writing must be a very difficult way to make a living.
Even the housewife can make a buck selling their art in their spare time.
If you tried to sell your poetry/writing and art work at the same time with equal time and effort put into each, you'd likely sell your artwork first.
Writers I think, face a much higher rate of rejection or periods without work.
I've seen employment ads for writers and they say stuff like "Writer wanted, will pay 10 cents per word." How can a person make a living like that? 10 cents x 1000 words only $100 and might take several days/hours with edits to publish in final form.
The only viable way a poet can make a living in this day and age is to put them into songs and sell them on a platform such as YouTube.
Or they can start their own translation companies.

Anywhere from $0.25 to $0.27 a word.
A 375-word page (like, say, for a government press communiqué) = $101.25.
For 30 minutes of word-smithing.
Come back and see me, Joe, when you get paid $200/hour.
A Poem About Cutting, by Blurt
A river runs through them,
My pellucid dreams;
Skin like a tarp,
Frayed at the seams.
I show you my soul,
Don't look away;
Scars like an ocean
Beg you to stay.
Salvation is found
On the edge of a knife;
Look at me now,
Ending my/
Aw, thanks.
Geeky Sparkles, eh? I'll consider it.
About ol' Blandy, I guess I take a different view, though. Unlike some folks here who, in the style of Mary Barnes, paint the walls with their shit and then grin triumphantly before shouting "Art!", Bland is somewhat of a gadfly. And I mean that in the best sense of the word. People don't like gadflies. Gadflies irritate them. Like a pitbull with a rubber torus in its jaws, gadflies are relentless in their pursuit of never letting things go until they're satisfied some hint of the truth has been uncovered. Socrates was executed for being a gadfly. For a contemporary (and rather more pejorative) definition of a gadfly, we need look no further for an example than to Joe, whose endless critical posts have no constructive end in mind.
Foxy, I'm sure Bland understands that all of us here have lives away from teh forumz but, also like everyone here, he has no qualms about letting his freak fly. Isn't this what boards such as these were created for in the first place? I surely think so.
Can you please provide me a link to where this Poppy character is posting poetry? I'll confess to a certain curiosity.

Well there goes my fantasy.
I thought you wore a cheerleading outfit with a tiny thong underneath?
Bah. Humbug.
I dont wear any thongs ever. They rub up hard against your asshole and your lady bits. I like to be very clean.....and having material rubbing up against those areas just causes issues.
I seriously havent worn a thong since I was a stripper.
Sorry to ruin it lol.

My imagination can handle the thong part.
Just a pic in a cheerleader outfit possibly chopped and straring upwards with lips parted at a leather jacketed John Travolta (from whence you got your name) should keep me near the Kleenex for a while.
I'll chop my face onto that of the looney Scientologist for realism's sake.
Have to keep the blowup of that in the locked cupboard in the Batcave.
You have no idea how many times lol
