PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Perhaps you will explain this, Mallarme:

all of your poems seem quite detached from France's

daily events, politics, circumstances,

and other items from the headline news.

Your poems exclude all this; you seem to choose

the love of words and beauty, to convey

this through your verses in a timeless way.

Meanwhile, the facts---who governs France today;

the cost of living; factories' pollution---

these have no place within your Poetry,

and this art is not a democracy.

Promoting such an arrogant exclusion,

your Symbolist movement will not excite

a reader to exclaim, "What a good write!"
