I Me and Myself Rave, Rant and Ruin Poetry

I, Me and Myself met up with poetry on mind.

I raves about poetry;

 Me rants about it

and Myself ruins poetry.

As usual our consciences ICON, MECON and MYSELFCON participated in the meet.

We met up in an Italian restaurant `Chianti’.

Myself `I think if you can read this menu with an Italian accent, that itself would be poetry’

MYSELFCON `AND IF YOU CAN APPRECIATE THIS FOOD, THAT WOULD BE A BIG MYSTERY’

Me giving Myself a dismissive look `what sense does poetry make? Why cannot it be expressed as a prose?’

I `Wordsworth once said poetry is spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings’

Myself starts giggling uncontrollably while I and Me gave him a stern look understanding what was on his mind.

MYSELFCON ` HIS SPONTANEOUS OVERFLOW CANNOT BE POETRY FOR FAMILY READING :P ‘

Me `how can you say that? A picture can say a thousand words’

I `How can picture express your feelings about a female’s attitude, for that you require poetry’

ICON `ESPECIALLY IF IT IS THROWING PLATES, GLASSES AT HIM OR AT TIMES HIS MATTRESS OUT OF THE HOUSE’

Me `ok, what makes poetry more superior to prose?’

I `Poetry has to be short and each word counts’

Me `that is the problem, how to express so much in a few words?’

MECON `UNLIKE PROSE WHERE THESAURUS COMES TO READY USE’

Myself `easy write a prose, chop a few words and rhyme it religiously, you have poetry’

I and Me sarcastically ask `give an example?’

Myself `where I dwel,l lots of mosquitoes

                We sleep without repellants

                We all got malarias :p’

ICON `AND I VOMITING LIKE THE GUTTERS’

I staring disgustingly at Myself, says to Me `do you want to be a poet?’

Me `yes, but how to become a professional poet?’

I `Robert Frost once said to be a poet is a condition not a profession, so if you are interested in writing poetry, condition yourself, why don’t you try free verse?’

ICON ` HOW MUCH MONEY ROBERT FROST HAD MADE BY THE TIME HE MADE THIS STATEMENT?’

Me `what’s that?’

I `free verse is a form of poetry that does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme or any other musical pattern’

Myself `Very simple, you can put together a physics law, an economic principle, etc and call it free verse’

MYSELFCON `    JUST AS IN

EVERY ACTION HAS AN OPPOSITE AND EQUAL REACTION

                                BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO ONE THING, YOU GIVE UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO OTHER

                                AS A POSTULATE IS TO BE TAKEN WITHOUT PROOF’

               

Patience runs out for I and Me and they storm out of the meet, Myself follows them giggling and glad about the fact that neither Me got interested in poetry nor I could discuss any serious poetry.

ICON, MECON AND MYSELF INDULGE IN SOME POETRY OF THEIR OWN

POETRY IS JUST A STORY

TOLD WITH WORDS WHICH ARE FLOWERY

IF YOU ARE NOT A POET

YOU DON’T HAVE KEEP YOUR EMOTIONS QUIET

TO MAKE HER AGREE, IT’S NOT POETRY OR PROSE

WHAT MATTERS IS HOW ROMANTICALLY OR GRANDLY YOU PROPOSE.
