In Search of Poetry
by Brian Bilston

why is poetry so boring
why is poetry hard to understand
why is poetry considered non-fiction
is poetry a good clothing brand

poetry is an act of hope
poetry is a waste of time
poetry is a way of taking life by the throat
poetry is not supposed to rhyme

why is poetry important
why does poetry exist
why is poetry pretentious
who is the better poet shakespeare or taylor swift

poetry is a political act
poetry is an egg with a horse inside
poetry is the best words in the best order
poetry is the mother of lies

why do poets repeat lines
do poems have to follow rules
why do poets repeat lines
why is poetry taught in school

poetry helps mental health
poetry is not real
poetry is the music of the soul
poetry makes you feel
