Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?

Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?If I post a new poem, and nobody reads it....is it still a poem ? |
|
Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?Name the poem and I will read it...eventually |
|
Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?You read it, unless you consider yourself a nobody. I think that counts. Now the real question is: if a poem falls in a forest and there is no one around to hear it, while a wood chuck is chucking wood then how many pickled peppers can you eat in a fifteen minute period.

Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?Well, okay...so, if nobody reads my poem, Embittered Embers, will the woods be filled with hollow sounds ? But, if other poets read it, then it will be a poem... |

Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?It's not a horn, it's a sail that's good in a gale, good morn'! |

Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?I'll bet even-money that you will run off and construct another of your infamous poems with our last posts. |

Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?And aye, it were of these waves rolling under the broad bow of the Spinakker |

Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?Now you're a comical creator of poetry..........................I got an old-salt laugh out of your last post.........................keep your sail to the wind, Mr. Ink, and you will never sink into the abysses of the drowning sea... |

Very witty reply Mr. Tierney. And G, you are melodramatic as usual.

Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?Yeah, Caity, I got a kick out of Mr. Tierney's post, and Mr. Ink's too...truly creative. And, yes I can be quite melodramatic when the occasion arises. |

Re: Is a poem, really a poem, after all...?Of course it is, but begging for a glance is very unflattering. |

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
