The beautiful thing about poetry
Is that I can call anything poetry
And everybody has to put up with it
Because it’s poetry
Once upon a time
I fractured my ankle
And so logically
I went on a 6 mile walk the next day
Once upon a time
There was a child born
Who would grow to be
So stupidly stubborn and bullish
That they went running on a fractured foot
I have a lump on my ankle
From a badly healed bone
But one fewer regrets than if I hadn’t gone running that day
So I’ll take what I can get
Ain’t poetry fun?

ATTITUDE. Yes, poetry has a changed a whole lot over the centuries. i don't think people would have the patience to write (and readers to buy) long works as done of yore.....

Yes. Sadly it is slowly dying out as an art form... here's hoping that will change.
