what is poetry?

[milo]

well, it's good enough for me anyway. At least no one asked what makes /good/ poetry?

Yes. What IS a poem is pretty useless when you're trying
to describe a sunset.
What makes for 'good' writing might be tremendously useful;
though, I have the awful feeling, it would turn out to be
something like 42.

yah, so long . .and thanks for all the fish.
