What is poetry, really?
Is it tossing random words around
Like confetti in your mind
And watching as they float lazily down
To land on a page arranged in a strange sentence such as
Variety paints secretly senile flora
Which will forever be a conundrum
To high school English students
Is it tossing random words around
Like confetti in your mind
And watching as they float lazily down
To land on a page arranged in a strange sentence such as
Variety paints secretly senile flora
Which will forever be a conundrum
To high school English students
Assigned to write interpretative essays
On such a profound statement?
On such a profound statement?
Or is poetry all rigidity and structure
Where one must keep in step with iambic pentameter
In order to grind out Petrachan sonnets with lines like
The world is changing even as we speak
And I believe the outlook is quite bleak
Complete with requisite rhyme and perhaps a
Sprinkling of spontaneous yet sparkling alliteration?
