Do not be cross with poetry

[QDeathstar]

If a poem cannot be understood at the lowest layer by anyone, it has failed, in my opinion. If I pass a poem by because I do not understand it well, it does not mean I do not understand it at all.

im not sure you can determine case a from case b, if you find yourself not grasping the meaning. You are ignorant to your own ignorance and can only interpret and critique what is witten from your perspective. You may think you know exactly what it means, another pathetic poem about birds, when truth be told it has alluded to s completely different narrative you failed to notice.

But you critique it as a shitty bird poem cause that's all you got.

this topic is a perfect imperical example of how important meaning is:
