And yes; poetry is the essence of the human. Even a poem about a landscape is filtered through the observations of the human mind. It saddens me no end when I hear people dismiss humour, absurdity, the quirky and the queer as "unpoetic". What would humanity be without the propensity to laugh at the world?
... and there's nothing funnier than watching a poet try to get laid through verse!
It could be worse
