Twas the voice of the salesman
I heard him declare
I have sugared my vowels
and basted them clear
so everyone likes them
and buys them with glee
and eats them with Foxtel
and Disney for tea
Sorry Helen, but basing any art on "what the audience likes" is to me so
wrong, so misleading, so despairing an aesthetic, I don't know what to
say. What audience? Where? Who is this amorphous blob we call an
audience? Are we all just little cogs in the marketing machine? I
always thought poems were about more than that.
Best
