Still the question isn't how to use that to make a poem. Pretty much any words can be added to to create a poem. The question is at what point do words go from being words and become a poem.
Laura through use of post-modern reductionism and a strong title created a poem from one word, space and punctuation. Kat's assertion that poetry is indefinable concerns me a bit. I think to some degree she might be right. Leanne spoke of this with a piece she posted a while ago that was 'ruined' in the explanation. Is poetry, much as Leanne's poem, ruined when it is defined?
