Re: Poem I wrote.-Aldo Moreno
1. Art is a bullshit term in my eyes. They way I see it you can call anything art. I can crap on the floor and call it art, but it's still just crap. It's an abstract. Andy Warhol proved that a long time ago with movies like "sleep", and his campbell's soup paintings. Which brings me back to my point. If you're going to post on public forum, you are showing it to the world. You owe it to your audience to improve. Hell I guess you could call the Charlies Angels game for the ps2 art by your definition.
2. Music and poetry are two different things. Understanding the spoken word is different. When you have only something to read it's up to your grammar to speak for you. That's unless you're going for the "I'm an uneducated person" vibe like in a lot of Mark Twain.
3. My rock/stone argument was not about vocabulary, but understanding sound or diction.
1. Art of any form should be done because you enjoy it because it's the very essence of expression. You don't write for an audience; you write (or paint or sing or sculpt) because you have something on your mind that you need to express. An audience is a perk, not the intent.
2. This is not true because a large portion of rap is comprised of and probably enhanced by improper grammar. Poetry has so many of focuses, grammar is hardly the point. Yeah, having a firm GRASP of it is important, but it's by no means a required tool.
And your rock/stone reference is about vocabulary, not grammar. Grammar is knowing the difference between "then" and "than" and when to use a particular form of a word.
