the death of poetrty

or anybody can be a poet from observation it occurs to me anybody can be a    poet   all one has to do is write a paragraph any paragraph even    nonsence is  allowed     break the sentences into unequal parts and stack them on top of each other throw in a blank line or so only use small letters play fast and loose with the tab key ignore any kind of rules      like rhythm    like meter like structure {not needed] only worry about ‘free’ expression as   o p e n is well--------great that is all anybody seems to want anyways these days oh me  a rhyme gasp these efforts can be only marginal prose ok             even the few that occasionally rise to eloquence           r most definitely not poetry         underneath the lazy tree                                                              oops egad i made another rhyme, silly me
