Poetic Issues

Speaking of poétic issues
              What does cattle without pasture do?
               cuddle sadness ...?
              And the mongrel without cans,
              just barks ... and how does it survive ..?
              What does the painter do?
              paint pillboxes ...!?
              And the architect, apply mortar ...!?
              What does the poet do, without rhyme
              and no verse !?
              Prose, posing of a poet?
              And what is love without love?
               erases, kills itself ...!?
              Shepherds without sheep,
               graze wolves ...!?
               And the people who don't neigh ...
               crouch ...?
               And the politician
               everything that promises and
                nothing does ... just cheating !?
                And I do not learn further than
                five or six words ..
                    Can I wear a tailcoat !?
                If we accept all  that,
                we are smart, bananas,
                     or simply
                       stupid...!?

Hello Alakas, when a poet can no write a rhyme, or a prose. They try another poetry form instead. So many questions to be answered. Salute Darlene My dear friend.
