   that your poems are actually song lyrics -- and as song lyrics they work very   
   well as what I termed "   
   3 am bar music."  I also noted that his vocal delivery worked well with that   
   genre as well.

   > Will is a terrible poet.  However, his poetry works as 3 am bar song   
   lyrics.  I don't think Will should try to pass himself off as a poet.  He   
   hasn't got the requisite education/skills to write poetry, and he only ends up   
   making himself seem like a    
   pretentious, narcissistic fool.  He should, however, call himself a   
   songwriter, and speak of his poetry as "lyrics."  He'd come across as more   
   down to earth, and would piss people off a lot less.   
      
   Thanks again for the positive points, that was definitely "fair and balanced."
