Maybe self-destruct would be more fitting with such self-glorifying statement as classifying oneself as a “good poet” and an “intellectual”. Yuck!

Since when have true poets and intellectuals started to praise themselves? Has literary standards really sunk to such a low level for certain people to shamelessly acclaim and congratulate oneself?

Thank you for your brief observation to this siday. Indeed, the New Critics movement influences me in many ways!

Haruan:

Thanks for your short statement.

I am not certain whether I ‘get’ your point, but thanks anyway for your effort to write your comment.

Apoy Loli:

I wanted to agree to Voltaire that “good poets don’t need to explain.”

Then again, I would appreciate if my audiences/readers attempt to deconstruct the ‘meaning’ of my sidays. In that process, I’d know my strengths and weaknesses in my craftmanship throught the critical eyes of my audience.

It takes much, much more than such inanities for one to be considered as an intellectual, much, much more than the rambling attempts at long discourses that seem to go nowhere and proves no point no view at all.

Heheheh!

Thanks for seeing me as a ‘cool man.’ I think, you’re cool man as well…

As to the ‘pasaway,’ I’ll take your suggestion seriously. Indeed, he/she doesn’t need mentioning here in our comment. Opppps! – I’m already [implicitly] mentioning him/her again…Hahahah

Undoubtedly, “real intellectuals are weird but not necessarily noisy.” And we know who are and who are NOT the real intellectuals!

fhen: beyond the whimpers are hope!

Naaabat ko na an pag-uswag (improve) han imo siday, diri la ha teknikal na aspeto, maging ha iya sinasakob (content).

Gumamit ka han metodolohiya han ‘personification’ ha imo natura nga siday, sugad han, Mayo, yatot, bantay, ngan iba pa.

Diri hiya ‘dedactive,’ mayda na hiya ‘talinghalaga.’ – usa ini nga pagpapakita han pamaagi han New Critics!

Para naman ha usa nga pasaway ngada, ambot kon kay ano nagpost hiya hin komento nga waray man kalabutan (not related) ha imo siday. Unang-una, waray hiya maghatag han iya interpretasyon han imo siday, ha himangraw man han teknikal o sinusulod!

Aada na naman an iya ‘communist movement,’ ngan papaano dawla iton makokonek ha imo natura nga siday?! – utro, aadi na naman an aton ‘insinuating friend,’ nagpipinasaway! Kairo man.

Para ha imo, paghimo hin imo kalugaringon nga siday, para hikit-an ta kun gaano ka kakarit/kagaling ha paghimo hin siday. Padayon an imo mga critique ha mga siday, pero waray ka man ginhihimo nga siday nga imo himo gud. Puros yawyaw, waray buhat!
