On (Not) Writing Poetry

poetry: writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning, sound, and rhythm.


Rhythm, not rhyme, language to evoke an emotional response, not coffee cups or substances. sigh. I mustn't have been thinking. So much for that 'concentrated imaginative awareness'... it was all diluted oblivion. (Whatever that means).


and my fonts are all over the place. What the hell is happening??
