After a few more readings this may become a favourite poem. Perhaps I see things in the words that nobody else does.

THAT I strongly disagree with. I have read much worse by Poet Laureates, and whoever was voting in that poll had never read McGonagall, or didn't count his words as English, or didn't count his words as poetry.<br /><br />Besides, if minimalist artists get away with mere lines crossing as "Art" then here is my wondrous new work of poetry for you to enjoy:<br /><br />"Faaaart"<br /><br />(copyright of Faaaart belongs to Don QuiScottie (and his other professional personae) and any infringement will be most strenuously pursued through the courts, or perhaps... as a statement of artistic rebellion, just ignored.Andrew MacLaren-Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275686573421308677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-33670578918130023192012-10-10T21:09:01.505+01:002012-10-10T21:09:01.505+01:00Hmm...

May need to read again, and getting me to read again is at least some sort of success for the author.<br /><br />I am not sure poetry can ever be "bad", just not to one's taste perhaps (The awesomely awful McGonagall excepted)<br /><br />Andrew MacLaren-Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275686573421308677noreply@blogger.com
