What Is Good Poetry?

What is Good Poetry? WHAT! How dare you! Blue blue blue, I love you I don’t like sexually explicit language Or profanity. WHAT! This is insanity! What is good poetry? WHAT! Blue blue blue I love you I’ll say what I like. How dare you! I don’t like occultism Or vulgarity WHAT! Surely poetry is every aspect of humanity! What is good poetry? WHAT! Blue blue blue I love you Why gag me. What’s wrong with you! I don’t like Personal attacks or battles WHAT! My God please set me free from these shackles What is good poetry? WHAT! Blue blue blue I love you Please let me speak. I should be allowed to say what I want to! Hateful Expressions! Hateful Expressions! Hateful Expressions! How else will I express the fact that: “I should have killed her!” I should have! What is good poetry? WHAT! Blue blue blue I love you Get out of your cage. Jesus H Christ surely you have to! AHHHH RACISM: I love you more than words can express, You make my heart wither like a dying rose.

You are right. Poetry is humanity and life. I do not like censorship , either! You should be able to say what you want to say and how you choose to express it. Freedom of Speech and tolerance is what a democracy is all about! Good Poem!
