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.
