Poetry As It Was Once

Here is a book which sets the record straight on what poetry is. Descriptive, of course, but also with the discipline of rhythm and rhyme, which demands the elimination of the superfluous and the repetitive. This is not to disparage prose. On the contrary, prose can indeed be beautiful: but it is not poetry.

There are poets whose works are of course brilliant but lacking in humour. But life would not be life without fun, so they describe a somewhat one-sided view of the human condition. Indeed, we all suffer from time to time, but we also experience joy and laughter. I at least hope that I may expire with a smile!
