on poetry

Wednesday, June 20, 2007

"The koi are calling," R. msged me today. "Come hither! They say."

"Aren't I, like, a great poet?" he gushed about himself when I came hither.

"Not really," I said. "The best poems must rhyme one."

Of course there are many good poems that don't rhyme. But if you take two very similar ones, the one that rhymes is better.

Case in point: That 70s Show vs. Wow Insider.

Bob, on That 70s Show:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Fudge is sweet
Here's some fudge

Guildwatch, on Wow Insider today:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I /gquit
And f#($ you


See?
