O knihe

What is poetry, really?

Is it tossing random words around

Like confetti in your mind

And watching as they float lazily down

To land on a page arranged in a strange sentence such as

"Variety paints secretly senile flora"

Which will forever be a conundrum

To high school English students

Assigned to write interpretative essays

On such a profound statement?

Or is poetry all rigidity and structure

Where one must keep in step with iambic pentameter

In order to grind out Petrachan sonnets with lines like

"The world is changing even as we speak

And I believe the outlook is quite bleak"

Complete with requisite rhyme and perhaps a

Sprinkling of spontaneous yet sparkling alliteration?
