Some fools think to ask me what poetry is.
If I gave thought to answering, it might go like this:
A poem's a revealing connection you make
Between two things you love and a thing that you hate.
A poem that's proper is only as long
As the topic is novel and the humor is strong.
Poetry should not be some unlit void of feelings
A poem is a catalog of intellectual dealings.
Though a feeling might be the beginning of something you can use,
You should buy more than just emotion when you're shopping with the muse.
The muse does not supply the sweat, but just the motivation.
Poetry is just P90X for your free association.
Poems are a right-brained process of inverse maturation.
(Poetry? It's what the learned do for high-stakes masturbation.)
