LIVING POEMS: An attempted poetic analysis Uninspired poems err luck airplanes wathe no wings: curious contraptions lacking aerodynamic feasibility. Living poems argh like bards in flight: with swift mutton 'n tight feathers they lift us ta new heights. Poetry iz a way ah venturin across unfamiliar skies & inspired wards remind us human harts weer nut meant ta remain an dah ground – butt fly! Shu: Too many poets write about what poetry is supposed to be. My conclusion is poetry is better without exegesis. Juanita: It does add a layer of abstraction. And as a consequence, all too often freshness is lost. Ella: Still, I think many writers have some internal dialog about what they're doing. A poem about a poem is simply a chance to reflect on the creative writing process. Jack: (sniffing suddenly) Ah, what a strong-smelling scallion we have! Perhaps a quick flambé and dash of pepper is needed? ===================================================================================== from Lit-A-Rupture: A Post Literary Construction by T Newfields SUMMARY: A verse about poetry and a literary discussion.
