Is writing considered an art?

Even if it is not, at least thebackground shall go with it. Read it and tell me what yout hink guys. my first time at writing and presenting a piece.
(many a time the two letters R and N are placed together looks exactly like an M.. if the word doesnt make sense, replace it with RN.. such as on the first line, what looks like tom, is torn)

The name of this forum isn't "Art", it's "Graphic Design." Which is basically illustration, pixel, rendering, etc. Nice poem though, belongs in NGRT.

I doubt it would be used that much (although I could be wrong).

Don't tell me to grow up. He mentioned the things he does. Has he mentioned recolourations or alterations of photos? probably, lol. but if you can not see the writing for a graphic (which i really hope you dont think writing is a graphic), at least try to see the relativity between the usage of the pictures in the backround to try and convey the main aspects of the piece.

I posted a poem, with a graphical backround. This is a graphics poem. I asked of you to read the poem, assuming you would also give comments and critisisms about the relativity the background has to the poem.
If somebody submittied a level in the levels forum.. and had a small amount of text.. possibly by the character saying something like "Hello", you dont focus on that..

Please don't try to contradict me because in certain aspects of what i have said, i stand correct. By arguing, you are making a troll of yourself.. Of course most people in over their heads with their abilities do that on every forum any way.
Try to see where I am coming from, and before you start arguing, let me tell you this. Are you grown up enough to agree with me to an extent?


Please, Zero. Don't tell me to grow up again. I've done too much of it in the past and everyone is too blind to see

The writing sounds kind of angsty to me and I don't like angst.

I really like it although I don't think it's very good at giving the graphical background you mentioned. It does however make you think, well at least it did for me.

Although everyone does interprate things like this differently.

There isn't enough contrast between the text and the background.

The yellow outline on the text doesn't work well, it looks like there's something wrong with the text.

The writing is terrible. I say this because I pride myself on writing, and I'm very critical about other peoples work.
You need to really work on your schemes and what you're trying to write about.
The background (as this is a graphics forum), is somewhat good, I wouldn't rate it though.

Writing is an art, just not a "Graphics Design" art, regardless of what picture is behind it :P
A troll? Oh heavens no! Someone might thing I'm a troll? (Incase some don't get this sarcasm... I'm a troll. So what?)

What is the poem supposed the be about anyway? It doesn't seem to follow a particular theme, nor does it really make much sense. Shed some light please.
