In response to the quotation taken from Laurable's Poetry Weblog:

How is it that many individuals feel that magnetic poetry is damaging to poetry itself? This does not make sense to me. I think many would agree that poetry invites one to convey emotions that many have yet to feel; inviting the reader into a realm that they have yet to experience or appreciate. Where is the inflicted damage if this realm happens to be infused with eroticism? Are we not bombarded with eroticism by simply turning on the television or perusing through a "teen" magazine? In my opinion, it is more likely that "aversion" and "disgust" would be unveiled in these such realms, as eroticism is blatantly obvious here as opposed to artfully subtle.

You must admit...it's quite a challenge to come up with something truly erotic with magnetic poetry; and when you do - bravo for your creativity!

Thanks for posting this Steve! I could go on and on and on about this subject....very interesting.
