Dragă Gabriel,
În general, ai dreptate în ce ai scris mai sus. Dar hai să despărţim apele: una este poezia (mai scurtă) , alta e poemul (o poezie foarte lungă şi cu “un filon epic”, care povesteşte ceva). Una este să fii poet versificator (cu ritm şi rimă) şi alta e să “aiurezi” în vers liber, alb, într-un “proiect de poezie”, cum am mai scris. Nenorocirea e alta: că poeţi sau proiectanţi de poezie sînt o puzderie, iar critici literari care să evalueze ştiinţific aceste producţii literare nu mai sînt, cu “desăvîrşire”. Mai scrii dumneata cîteva generalităţi şi ai dreptate, dar cu asta ce-am făcut? Puzderia de “poeţi albi” (care sar să te sfîşie) au torturat şi pe potenţialii critici literari, pînă ce şi aceştia s-au lepădat de meserie. Savin BADEA

@ ddm: la aceste doua versuri am mari retineri. O data din cauza formularii stangace, ingreunare, amanate (ca si cum, in timp ce), si pe de alta parte din cauza impreciziei despre care am vorbit si in runda anterioara. Sigur, pe de alta parte aceasta poate sa tina de o poetica pe care v-ati asumat-o.

1. in timp ce ridic capul cu satisfactie (NU, pentru ca ar descrie total aiurea (ca senzatie) si stangaci (ca exprimare) ceea ce simt in acel moment. Ar merge doar in poezia “la misto”, la care poate ca s-a dus cu gandul Razvan initial :P)
2. se adunasera aici toti nemultumitii (in nici un caz, pentru ca ar deturna atentia asupra lor, iar eu vreau sa ramana pe mine)
