writing poetry is so flipping hard
#21
I don't know. The craft of poetry is very interesting. But there's also the poets (great ones) who said the hell with it, and largely made their own forms and styles. Look at Walt Whitman, for Christ's sake. Can anyone REALLY break down his poetry and say it was great because it followed some time-honored form? It was great because he had something powerful to express that spoke to so many people.

Just another take on it.
You can't hate me more than I hate myself.  I win.

Of a quivering vibrato's bittersweet sting."
