Question: What are the important aspects of poetry!?
*****
ORBITING MASS

Go, Moon,
and take
the starlight with you!.
You look silly,
suspended there,
using a hill
for a pillow!.

Leave from here,
before
people stop and stare,
such a spectacle!.

Don’t make a scene…

Off the top of my head I think the important aspects of poetry is the poem has to grab you in some way!. It has to be interesting!. It doesn't have to be complex, and on the other hand you can complicate the hell out of it, but either was it has to grab you!. Orbiting Mass does that!. Nice images, fun to read!.

You screwed up the metaphor I use for my old lady; Gotta find another password to bed! Now, that is one aspect of poetry: Redefining old images, concepts, and ideas while searching for new ones!.
Could it happen without making a scene!?! * thinking of all those celebrities*
Profound!
