REAL POETRY

Real Poetry has a verisimilitude.

It is the utterance in terms of the imagination of a truth which otherwise cannot be expressed or known and whose functions are the loftiest that belong to the human language. It should be didactic and occasionally acrostic. All the devices of imagery, rhyme and figures of speech not only entertain and inspire but also are instructive. Much modern poetry often forgets this and is nothing more than mundane prose. Human beings are definitely capable of better than what has become known as paired down minimalism.
