The author's comments:
This is a new style called Dirty/Pretty, not started by me, but clearly changed by me. The way I write it is very different from the way it is 'supposed' to be written. I'm much wilder with it, but I don't believe creativity should be contained. I had someone tell me in response to one of my Dirty/pretty poems that poetry was made up of verses and stanzas that went down the page in a neat column and that what I had done was not poetry. My response? I thought poetry was an means of expressing creativity and it's my belief that creativity is not only the ability to think outside of the box but also the willingness to do it.
