See, titil of this post rhyming. That itself is being poetry. My nameshake one of greatest poets of English language, you may be knowing. He writing many sonnets and all his drama plays also very poetical. What he say, now, I dredging memory…ah yes, I copying pasting from Internet: “The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; and as imagination bodies forth the forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen turns them to shape; and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name; such tricks has strong imagination.” It very profound, it going over my head largely, but still you seeing and I seeing it about poetry. Nowadays, it being easier to write poetry, though it much more difficult to understand. Even more difficult to understand why it called poetry at all. Poetry, I seeing, is all about appearance. First, poet having to look like poet. It crucial and not all peoples master of this art. There two ways to do this: 1. Supermodel who revealing hidden literary talent. 2. Intellectual with dreamy look forgetting to bath for past three days. I wondering how it possible to always look like you not bathing for three days. I meaning, every third day, you looking freshly washed, right? Never minding.
Then, it not only appearance of poet, but get up of poem also being important. See egg sample below:
to
make noodles
bring
a cup
of water (200 ml)
to a boil
add
noodles
and don’t forget
the
tastemaker
Now (this no longer poem, bye the way), you seeing how look of words affecting way you reading poem. If you not breaking lines in judicious places, how people know it poem? It very important technique, please note it.
There being third important thing needed for today’s serious poet, which is standing in public place and courageously reading writings aloud, even if it make you look like a total donkey. So you be practicing with above egg sample. In bathroom if you shy type.
