Dear Poetry Soup Member ( a Letter)

Allow me to get straight into the matter. If I have offended anyone with my poetry that has been posted on this site, I deeply apologize. I'm 32 yrs old, and I am very mature although some of my work can be way out there. I'm also still learning. You guys should know my dad Marty Owens posts all my work because I am incarcerated and don't have computer access. Now about my "adult content" pieces, it was brought to my attention, these poems are "turning people off." My fellow poets, have you read these pieces? Most are not totally sexual! There may be a couple sentences that are erotic and if so, I place "adult content." I feel some poets are just not open-minded and quite frankly "too old school." After all this is 2010 and we are poets of today! This is not the days of "Shakespeare!" I am asking my fellow PS members to respond to this letter...I want to know you guys opinion. I would like any advice concerning my work. It's no secret, I am best at "slam" poetry! That is my genre, my area. Did you guys know that 6 months ago I couldn't tell you what a Haiku is?! Senryu is?! I seriously did not know poetry had different forms! lol Go ahead and laugh. Growing up, I just "wrote my own style" Which I've found out is "slam" lol But I did know what a "spoken word poet" was. So with that said, I genuinely am sorry...I have a lot to learn. I would love to hear any advice...Thank you PS. Love you guys....Jimmy M. Anderson P.S. Marty will send all comments and sm's to me
