It’s been a while since the last broadside (and, there were no less than five humiliating bad poems written this week, none of which made the cut for today). So here’s Four Foolproof Ways To Create Unimaginable Wealth In This World for you to download, print, post, paste, pass around, et cetera…

Wat made you turn left?
For not following the steps already run by others..
Getting the dice as a way too follow a new way or path with a clear mind for own creativity and not desideted by others….
Or juged by jan cartier here
Think of a number…
Throw the dice and go friend
All best Pieter

Pieter,
Perhaps you misunderstood my remark. I love Robert’s work. He described his five poems this week, not me, as “humiliatingly bad”. His bar is set very high. My words were intended as an encouragement, one artist to another, to look at the “five” as courageous attempts and fuel for the next ones.
You know the only way to learn to fly, is to aim at the ground and miss…
What made you think I was judging him?
All best, Jan

sorry i thought you juged him
My bad…
My language barier and reading too quickly….
And dint see the lines under the pdf file
(other parts i wrote i ment by triing to see something in it like discibing a weard dream you had last night and wrote down try and find some kind of meaning in it ,but wel if they are already marked as bad nevermind then )
Well i go and stick my had in the ground for a while..
All best Pieter

Pieter,
No harm, no foul. I suspect I would make a total fool of myself speaking your language. Which one would it be?
Please, get your head out of ground. All’s well. :) Jan

Thanks…

Pieter - Man, you’re brave throwing your email around like that ;) I took the liberty of stripping it of its scrapability…
As far as the “humiliating bad poems”, those were what I wrote this week, that didn’t make the cut for Monday. So, like the lazy man I am, I posted a broadside from a former poem for general consumption.
I need to get to Holland, let’s set up a reading in Amsterdam as a cover to just sit and drink good Dutch beer…

aah clear and thanks for the reply.
Wel you (and the rest of the world) got my mail , so if you got plans too go too holland just let me know and we’ll drink a few beers ;-)
