How can one know what makes up a perfect poem, either short or long?
It’s the same as knowing what CAN'T be known: “what’s a perfect song? ”
As soon as someone makes a “perfect-poems list”... and shows it,
along comes someone else who takes that “list”, and in the trash can throws it.
hi bri i always enjoy your candid and from the hip comments...thanx here the first three lines i guess is the group of imbeciles called poets on PH and the last laugh / line.. :) .... most likely refers to you nice rhyming there
Even poems regarded as masterpieces can hardly be called perfect poems. Perfect poems do exist only in imagination, in the state of poetic utopia. I like the insight of the poem and the poet's conviction. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MZANSI AND THE BALLOT BOX.
But is it worth the changes like this To be included on one such poetic list, To be selected and kindly regarded Just to have that list coldly discarded?
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
A real perfect poem Bri. well done
