The majority of his poetry sucks. He has a couple that have good potential but that's it.

Of course, it goes without saying that virtually all poetry that ANYone writes, without exception, sucks. Some of it turns out good and that's the stuff everyone goes crazy over.
"Wai! Some of his poetry is great, so ALL of it must have hidden meaning!"

And I'm damn proud to be a guru. Thank you for the compliment. Better to be honest and poison this empty, pathetic, soggy world than accept the "facts" of things and be a mediocre twit.

You had a guru in your part of the country? Did s/he stay around, or travel off to better climes? I know of a few -- if you ever come across a Lady Pandora, for example, avoid her like the plague.

[spina_di_rosa]

he is unfortunatly headed to your neck of the woods in less than a month I am ashamed to admit.

Avoid Ixaradius aka Daven aka blahblahblah and his side kick Lumendracos like the plague. Not as dangerous to the pagan community as they are to the poly one but the mindset is still the same.

Interesting. This isn't the Lumendracos I already know, is it? Can you point me to a blog or something to give me some advance notice?

We've survived poly gurus before, and have some big name ones in Boulder. They may be out of their league here.

[spina_di_rosa]

ahhh pardon...Dracoilluminati was who I ment not Lumendracos. Apparently my mind associated the two. His LJ is by that name, the Guru that is leaving goes by Ixaradius here on LJ
