if you can name one or two writers here who presently writes mediocre poetry but has the potential to be great someday who would it be?

that's impossible CervusWright. Your poem is everything but mediocre. You are already great.

I'm not sure if you watch, or have ever managed to see the show 'Scrubs'? Joey reminds me of a less succinct, slightly retarded Dr Cox. The only difference I see between Joey and Dr Cox, is that the good Doctor, at his core, is filled with compassion and his abrasiveness (done with a cruel humour in a way Joey tries to achieve, but doesn't quite deliver) is all about making the ones he LOVES around him, see the bigger picture, and strike that balance between humility and social justice.
Joey is looking for something, I think. Possibly the dialogue he keeps mentioning, or maybe his tribe. Either way, his fury during his seeking, inspires a little anxiety in me, and I prefer to just shut-up and nod. Anyway, truth is, what do I know? He may be right...
Damn, now I've got Billy Joel stuck in my head. Lucky you, you're probably young enough to not remember the tune I'm thinking of.

"You may be right, I may be crazy. Woh, but it just may be a looonatic you're lookin' for. Too late to fight, don't try to change me, you may be wrong, for all I know but you may be right.."

i'd look for someone who is very clever in combining sounds and in shaping the rhetorical patterns of her writing, who can say things cleverly, but not yet write a word-leaf which is complete in itself, one which draws the reader into the author''s reality itself, and not just into the 'talked about'. but, who can say? only the god of poetry can say, and perhaps the god doesn't know either.
