Diagnosed Absurdity

graduated cum laude 
with a PhD in madness,
practitioner of your
  own philosophy as
    the harbinger of doom,
tales of darkness where
the deck is always stacked,
what's the sense of light
   to an austere night
or spring's flourish 
   mid winter's brashness,
you don't need to be
      a rocket scientist 
    to diagnose absurdity

But what do you need to be to diagnose great poetry? Whatever that is, I have it because each time I visit your page that is what I find.

You're too kind, and must be a little bit crazy, that's why you can diagnose my poetry. :)

I want to believe there is the heart of a poem whose emotion bearer is the poet or the author. A good a number scatches the surface of a poem, and oftenty conclusion is scewed to the line of biased judgement.
