Poetry is presentation, it's rhetoric, it's not original thought in
the least. The "thought" or "insight" you find in poems is banal and
trite in every case I know of -- what makes it poetry is how it is
presented, not what it says.

I've stayed out of this, but HUH?
In every case?
Even every case you know of?
Even "I have never seen a poem..."
or Emily's The Fly
or "How do I love thee..."
or Nash's Fleas
etc
but the only real question, is why poet if one thinks so little of poetry?
Smiles.
