really, it's all about rhyming?!
if it rhymes it's this
art form?
        really? if it rhymes,
it qualifies?
no wonder this "art form" is
currently on life-support
machines,
turning into necrophiliacs;
i can't believe that rhyming
is all that defines poetics,
esp. given the current vein
of journalistic endeavour...
last time i heard,
poetry was both beside
crafting rhymes,
as it was beside crafting novels,
it was one of the things,
in that cartesian / heraclitaen
mixology of an up-kept
continuum of thought:
a sudden pause / a sudden
breath...
  i still can't believe poetry is
rhyme-centric...
      as if poetry really needed to
be easily identifiable...
which it is, when rhymed...
well, **** me, should it also become
grecian, and thereby prosaic to boot!
or perhaps it was just that,
to begin with?
      perhaps this "science"
of writing, was never to be
limited by rubrics of "identifiable
constraints";
it's almost no wonder that
people enjoy poetics,
english teachers killed it,
   telling people to aspire
to a broken arm castes of rigid
insurance of observable technicalities,
rhyme over spontaneity!
rhyme over spontaneity!
      poetry is disgusting these days,
because it settled into
a pose of being "scientific" -
in fact poetry is overly scientific,
which is written, without
any scientific terms, such as noun,
pronoun, verb...
   whereas poetry ought to be a free arm
venture, it's nothing more than
an arm within a caste...
apparently it's only when sentences
rhyme, that there's an identifiable
poetics being presented...
what a horrid scenario to undertake.
