“Poetry must be made by all and not by one.”

Poetry had far better imply things than preach them directly... in the open pulpit her voice grows hoarse and fails.
I'm sorry, man, but I've got magic. I've got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time - and this includes naps - I'm an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground.
I have experienced healing through other writers' poetry, but there's no way I can sit down to write in the hope a poem will have healing potential. If I do, I'll write a bad poem.
Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others.
