‘No more of this, for Goddes dignitee,’ Quod
oure hoste, ‘for thou makest me So wery of
thy verray lewednesse That, also wisly God
my soule blesse, Myn eres aken of thy
drasty speche; Now swiche a rym the devel
I biteche! This may wel be rym dogerel,’
quod he.
-Chaucer
So, I actually did click on the link and read it
It is interesting enough but not really poetry, per se, but "rym dogerel" as Chaucer would put it.
Poetry depends heavily on figurative language and metaphor (as well as other poetic devices) to convey while this uses rhetoric
That saying, there is nothing wrong with doggerel and it certainly has its uses for enhancing reading.
It really isn't that long, the meter, rhyme and excess verbiage could use some work, if you are interested in working on it, I would be up for the challenge.
update, just realized you posted it in its entirety, I will follow up this post with some suggestions for improvement after I have given it some time and thought
