I. <br />Poetry is taking a blind man <br />and trying to describe the rainbow to him <br />using no adjectives. <br /> <br />II. <br />The Poet walks into a dark room <br />and paints the air white... <br />or at least attempts to <br />while the whales eat him whole <br />and recreate him again. <br /> <br />III. <br />The muses and the poet, <br />locked in a game of baseball, <br />forget that the poet must die <br />and forever they linger, <br />haunting students <br />with a bigger picture.<br /><br />Michael Ardizzone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ars-poetica-8/
