Ok, so what would you say to this article in the paper?

This was my enraged reactin to such a childish view of art.

I have read many stupid things in my time, much of it poetry I admit. This however rates amongst the stupidest things I've ever read.

Whilst Dan is correct in stating that rhyme and iambic's can be difficult, some find them incredibly easy.

I for one find rhyme to be the reasonably easy, so I actually avoid it as much as possible.

I suppose he doesn't understand works with no punctuation either; or pieces that don't "lay it all out for the reader".

All I can say Dan, is that you certainly fit the Australian image of the "generic American" - ignorant of truth in art and sadly indicative of the general want for poetry which is simplistic and artificially clear.

Sad really, when I for one quite enjoy some American poets, many of which work in a combination of rhyme, "forms" or as I, in there own unique styles.

Imagine where we would be if we all accepted a "generic" life......still in cave's I'd imagine.

Mosquitobyte.
