ESSAY - WHAT DOES POETRY "HAVE" TO BE?
John Keats |
The religious painter frowns at the frivolous cartoon or risque nude. The "imitation of life and reality" artist, snorts at Picassoesque visions and representations.
Yet, over the ages, both, all, emerge as reputable representations of art... schools, periods, in the art, and/or the artist.
So too, poetry.
The poet, limerick writer, advertising jingler, political ranter, or romantic swooning swain (or swainette), become recognized by somebodies somewhere as a professional practitioner of his or her art.
So, gird your poetic loins, pick your weapons, your words, and, as they said in the 60's... "right on", or, in this case, "WRITE ON!!!"
