Poem- “Quality”

“Quality”

The poet has a “job” to do for a poem.

If you don’t have a job to do for a poem, you’re not a poet.

Most people can’t write.

On Earth, humanity is usually a “texting” population.

A normal text on your cell phone says something like this:

Larry in coming up Saturday afternoon

Do you see what I see?

I see errors in the text.

“In” should be “is”.

A word like “on” can be inserted before “Saturday” for better focus.

There’s no period at the end of the sentence.

You don’t read anything else in the text.

It’s too fast and messy for real poetry of any kind.

Sure, there’s communication with error of poor grammar.

But it’s not language.

If it’s not language, it’s not writing.

Good writing can only be done with good language.

Finally, if there’s no language, there’s no poetry.

Most people just have sounds.

You probably won’t even hear words from the public.

A common, everyday man can’t tell the truth.

So, he just remains quiet and stays away from you in public.

There’s never poetry in that.
