The worst of this sorry bunch of semi-educated losers are those who seem to glory in being irritated by nouns becoming verbs. how dense and deaf to language development do you have to be? if you don’t like nouns becoming verbs, then for heaven’s sake avoid shakespeare who made a doing-word out of a thing-word every chance he got. he tabled the motion and chaired the meeting in which nouns were made verbs
Sorry Heaven Language Development
But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.
Good Love Writing Political
There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.
Lyric Poetry Differences People
One day the nouns were clustered in the street. an adjective walked by, with her dark beauty. the nouns were struck, moved, changed. the next day a verb drove up, and created the sentence.
Dark Next Day One Day
Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. no matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." you drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." everything is poetry, so i think we come down to emotional information. and that's what poetry conveys.
Art Wine Emotional
I am still studying verbs and the mystery of how they connect nouns. i am more suspicious of adjectives than at any other time in all my born days.

What i have in mind is that art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way that a bad emotion is still an emotion.
Art Mind Adjectives
I was horribly bookish, to the point of coming right out and saying it, which i knew was not socially acceptable. i particularly loved the adjective bookish, which i found other people used about as often as ramrod or chum or teetotaler.
People Adjectives Used
When a man is in love how can he use old words? should a woman desiring her lover lie down with grammarians and linguists? i said nothing to the woman i loved but gathered love's adjectives into a suitcase and fled from all languages.
Lying Men Adjectives
I know exaggerators of both kinds: people whose lies are only picturesque adjectives, and people whose picturesque adjectives are only lies.
