“Music, when combined
with a pleasurable idea,
is poetry;
music, without the idea,
is simply music;
the idea, without the music,
is prose,
from its very definitiveness.”

prose
no rhyme
very little reason
random thoughts, random words
didacticism *

metaphors style his writing
his stories always very exciting
stubborn, he sticks to his ways
his art filled with symbolism
he never reacts to criticism
his thoughts radiate like golden rays
his thinking ignores the obvious
he walks the fine edge of notorious
when finished, that is where it stays
pleasures inferred by use of innuendos
readers view through clouded windows
past or future, he never counted in days
eventually was forever his ultimate goal
leading the gullible down the rabbit hole
his best genre was theatrical plays
he was quite prolific for many decades
he used every trick except for charades
his attitude was to do whatever pays
kudos to the writers who can stick to their guns
those who can tell a story without using puns
