PepperPaceabout 13 years agoA poem makes the reader feel a certain way, a poem sounds beautiful as the words glide off the tongue, AND a poem is used to aid in memorization and oral transmission...
Not sure why some would even question the boundaries of what is or is not poetry.
Look at Jabberwocky written by Lewis Carroll. What I like about theognis is that he uses ambiguity, and symbolism in
his poems. I examine the words and search for different meanings...and...never mind, if you don't get it then you don't get it.
theognisabout 13 years agoAuthorWe will have to disagree, it appears. I view this as clearly a poem:
"I before E except after C or when sounded like A as in neighbor and weigh."
I think the man who wrote that would agree with me.
buttersabout 13 years agobut surely these are only simple mnemonic devices using a rhyme, or near rhyme in your case... i would be stretching too far to call either of them a poem. theo, we're going to have to disagree on this one, i'm afraid.
