There Is No Such Thing As A Poem (Free verse) by Aetius

There is no such thing as a poem: There are truths bled out through ink-stained hands; there are Amish tables polished clean through much erasure; there are puddles of words, vomited forth in ecstatic catharsis; there are monsters, unleashed by Frankensteins with pens; there are wild apples, sown by the mad; and tame roses, forced to fit syllabic trellises; but there is no such thing as a poem.

I really like half of the lines, here. And the idea behind it. Actually, the more I read it, the more I like the idea behind it. moving a six to a seven.

favorite bits: monsters, ecstatic catharsis, and the syllabic trellises. :)
