What is Poetry?



What is Poetry?-drkgb
            ================
            The great eternal flow;
            From the unknown glow;
            The singular nanoness;
            Rather the ambiguous;
            The null-nil-fullness;
            -The ponderous absurdness.

            The waves of theGanga;
            The hues of theHimalaya;
            My muses' never-ending;
            -The lingering excruciating;
            The ecstatic melodious note;
            -The swirling oscillating dot.

            Mom, I enjoy thy love lactating;
            Conjuring glittering cradling;
            Thy lullaby I chant;
            Thy caressing does enchant;
            Me merging to the celestial rhyme;
            -The cadence perplexing; my mime.
