Jack Kerouac once said and I quote

Don’t use the phone

People are never ready to answer it

Use poetry

I tend to agree with him as poetry is the purest form of writing

It is harder to write poetry than prose

I could never write a conventional novel

As I would reverse the narrative

It would become elliptical

And characters would just vanish

All before the end of chapter two

My heroine would have raven hair

Just like the dark lady of the sonnets

And then she would become an icy blonde

This is why I write poetry and not prose

If you imagine an imaginary circle

You will find that most people

Would enter a the highest point

But others would enter at a lower angle

These are the poets and the thinkers

I am not saying that either of these people

are better or more intellectually

gifted than the other

but they do differ

It is all a matter of angles

Poetry speaks to us all

But we do not listen to it

It is the same as ignoring the phone

Because you are in the bath

With a Catholic priest

Who has promised to keep quiet

As buggery is forbidden

In rented flats with views to the street

If I slipped a poem under your door

You would read it and wonder

Why I did not hand it to you in person

As it was rather good in a strange way

Straight men do not write poems about buggery

As the act secretly disgusts them

I find that writing about women

Is an easier task as I adore the feminine

Women are adorable creatures

So suited for a poets pen

And if they possess a rare beauty

Then poems such as this one

Will be created and recorded

In your blind subconscious
