Understanding Poetry From Within

Perhaps not be detected,
but poetry is not pleased
of prolixity...
Neither flatter itself with
adjectives...
Poetry does not appreciate
lack of objectivity of
repetitive vocabulary, and
dramatically hates
pimping flourishes...
Poetry does not feel
honored by
poor rhymes...
Dreams of reaching the senses...
Wishes enchant,
thrill, interrogate
to change this world!
However if this is not understood in
the fundamental reason:
it is not poetry... !
