The Poetic Proportion

In dealing with words
let me thus comment
upon the queerness of most:

The rationale of verse
can, but must not exceed
the meter of one's purpose.

It is in breaking this rule
that we find no progression
concerning The Poetic Principle.

I've broken that principle myself a lot of times, perhaps because I don't work on a piece enough, and just give up... but I do agree with you and of course it was nicely expressed in your post, keep on bringin' the goods!!!

A poem about..well..how we tend to critique poetry. Nice way of showing that to the many readers here. Next time, instead of writing a critique write something original because I enjoy those much much more. Keep on the writing.

"Silencio..no hay banda..no hay orquesta."
"We hear a band yet we don't see a band". It is all a recording."
"Silencio. It is all an illusion".
