( excerpted from ---- THE WORDS OF THE MASTER POET )                                                                   Author ----- ANONYMOUS •• The most basic feature of great poetry is its use of CONTRAST :: For example - for something to have a certain quality It's absence must have the severest OPPOSITE   quality • The absence of the one you love Must be reason  for extreme hatred Or the love seems shallow // Having  a friend must be blown up into True eternal joy ! The absence of this feeling must be portrayed as PAIN ! ( and you must portray yourself as BROKEN ! as FOREVER SCARRED ! as now a ******* INSANE IDIOT ! or have your work shrunken unto impotency // You must describe your love as 1000 super novas ! Exploding majestically In the heartland of your ***** Your ***** becoming The Vision of the universe The appearance of god himself ! Here to illuminate the human race  ! // And the PAIN ! The excrutiating  pain In love 's absence The life denying loneliness The razor blades The exalted scars ! Of body Mind &                                  Soul ! // THIS IS POETRY !                                          ( contrast ) // The ACCEPTED , trendy sort of poetry Or The REJECTS ! - wallowing in wisdom And compassion ( these flairs MUST be avoided ) Think only of EXTREMES love / hate Joy / pain worthy / worthless Etc And you too Will become A MASTER POET ( like ME )
