Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 10/04/12 at 05:52 PM as prejudicial as this might appear, I think poetry is inherent and is inaccessible to the average layman on the street. in my opinion, neither poetry nor art can be taught, and cant swing if it ain't got that inherent thing/seed, no matter how rich the educational, instructional and nurturing soil might be, if there is no inherent seed, there is no budding poet in my opinion, but that is a matter for discussion. on the other hand, I love your poem. that is why I believe I did so poorly at math, not because I was mathematically dense, rather that I had neither talent or inclination for it. |
