In the beginning Man created the poem
And it was good
In the end Man saw what he had done
What the poem had become and like poetry
He killed himself
Man saw the poem was without form,
And man said, let there be stanzas and man divided the words
And man saw the poem that it was good but could be better?
And then Man said let there be...

And you still didn’t get it so
In the midst of what he had created
Man lost his way
Lost control of what he had made
And Said let there be competition
And from that last attempt to save a culture:
Pretentiousness
Arrogance
Ignorance
Flash and flare

Over-over exaggeration
The same ol’ song and dance
Lies
Overused and abused
Superficial subject matter
In the end Man saw the poem, that it wasn’t good or bad
It
Just was…
Man saw the pome, that it was the same
Man saw the pome
It was the same
Man saw the next poem and it was the same
The same
The same
It was no longer extra ordinary, or different, just ordinary
Man saw what he had done
What the poem had become:
The most precious and vital form of human communication corrupted and made irrelevant due to human competition
...And Man created a poem that was unique. The whole Poetry was shocked and moved. There was controversy about this unique poem among poets.There was jealousy among them all. There was also admiration among those honest ones. Even Shakespeare from his grave was heard saying outstandingly, 'Wow! What a unique poem'. I, as a poet and a reader can honestly say: 'This poem is really unique because it was written about you, Emily K. Courtney, and among all the women in the World, you are unique' God Bless You for always! By the way, this unique poem was written by a Poet still unknown... Love and Peace for always! Romeo from New York...
