The Poetic Arts

Terminology: Crystal booths in a nocturnal snow. significant downpours of shedding stars. This said, feel free to scatter, scrabble or mash. Words are fungible, many still believe that poetics do indeed belong to the fungi family, though some have been classified as many-limbed Triffids of the squishy kind. Now throw moondust at the reader's eyes: Obscurity is essential, however, first create a window that opens to reflect the thrower. Rain down upon the moondust until mud takes shape. There are no words for this process, so, make some up. Flourish: Without a final flourish the poet is left with a turgid puddle avoid turgidity at all costs, especially puddles. Sprays of celebratory tinsel or globs of gore are always effective. Reaching for the stars with a palsied hand will jerk tears out of a slab of concrete eventually. Swiftly leave the space you are now occupying, other's will be impatiently waiting to craft their next masterpiece.
