And because it's Friday...

Let me see if I can channel my inner Oscar Wilde and produce some witticisms.

I stole this idea from Surviving the Workday: Spirituality at Work

Poet Observations

1. Gritty realist poets look down on nature poets because they believe nature poetry is one of the most hackneyed, overwrought forms of art ever conceived.

Both are wrong.

2. Male poets are highly androgenous creatures. That doesn't imply that they're homosexual or bisexual.

3. The key with poetry is to make autobiography sounds like fiction. The key with prose is to make fiction sound like autobiography.

4. If a poet hasn't had at least one nervous breakdown by the age of twenty-five, then his or her credentials will be called into question.

5. Almost all poets smoke pot, have smoked pot, or would entertain the proposition at some point or another.


Add your own and have fun with the joke.
