Where’s gone the meter?
I can’t find the rhyme – inner or outer?
Thematic material usually meaningful,
Often important, I have to admit –
So we’ll skip that critique.
Syntax? Well, I can accept unformed sentences –
Part of the license poetic. But why
Waste the time
When the poem
Is an appellation for prose, actually
I want, no, I need
A nice, user-friendly,
Clear-but-not-shallow
Un-arcane/-ambiguous,
Straightforward verse
To learn from, take pleasure in,
Not knocking ‘noodle’ to hell,
And/or busting a gut
Attempting to figure it out.
