Popular music has meter and rhyme. Poetry's so much more.
A poet thinks his darkest thoughts aloud -- in dueling metaphors.
Those thoughts, which cannot be learned and divined,
Are the science of explaining hearts and minds
Without unraveling them. The fun is in the curves.
Good poetry worms into your brain; the bad just stays on your nerves.
