Notes About The Poem

poetry

The labouring art of poetry
is in true sense, senseless.

It corrupts judgment, strains credit
and prostitutes' self-esteem.

Damn the unhappy day you start it.

Yeah, what Anais wrote. . . . This comment, from Dorothy Parker, "If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second-greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first-greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they're happy.". . . Bonus comment: Anais, If you have the time, I have a story I'd like to share with you today on Quora PM. <3
