Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts,

For those of you who doubt your ability to write, your own artistic kindling you must ignite, fight to write tight and the reader's emotion…incite. But are the silently read words adequate to load the weaponized word armaments? When you read aloud you give those words

a volume, allow them to be heard, feel proud.

They tell you to take pride in your work but too

much pride is a sin and that begets a jerk. You have a tender heart for your writing, you want to take the rusty and cleanse it, stain it, polish it, perfect it, but be wary of diminishing or disintegrating the very thing that made your work original, raw, idiosyncratic, incomparable and inimitable.

I have been constructing poems for a very long time, but in that time I discovered, more often than would make it a fallacy to say, I got the poem mostly right the first fucking time, so the bulk and body of those revisions was arguably a waste of my time. If you really want to succeed in achieving the stupefying struggle between efficiency and originality, take heed: write it once, revise it a minimum of thrice, and let others read your work who will be as candid as they're nice.

I am Faux Poe, your igniter host, you are my writer ghosts. WELCOME, you wired, inspired, miles from retired, writers to:  Lecture 6: Faux Poet: Reciting Writing Begets Rewriting; There's a Key Need to Read and Reread; Feed that Need, Read Aloud, Plant Verbal Seeds, Embrace Both Flowers and the Weeds--How to Orally Concede and, Your Own Words, Read.

I'm a Rogue Poet, my classical poetry approach is counter vogue, in case you didn't know it. Do not concede the fight in your quest of writing to ignite!

Write to creativity ignite and, the readers' passions, incite!

-Faux Poe OUT!
