There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money either. There should be two main objectives in ordinary prose writing: to convey a message and to include in it nothing that will distract the reader's attention or check his habitual pace of reading - he should feel that he is seated at ease in a taxi, not riding a temperamental horse through traffic. A perfect poem is impossible. Once it has been written, the world would end. |
