" Of course this is a sermon, not a poem.
Oh, maybe that's why I couldn't finish it!"
I didn't mean the poem was a sermon. Although I believe what it says is true, it was also written somewhat facetiously, as it really doesn't matter what poetry is or isn't, whether it has substance or is just a fad, since poetry as an art form is almost dead, if not dead.
"It’s what everyone does today,
Or so it’s what they say, “they say!”
So I guess it must be OK! “ok?”
Poetry extemporaneously improvised:
Contemporaneously-impromptu-un-devised."
Billy said, "i think you have the makings of a double sonnet with very little work." A sonnet is composed of iambic pentameter (five feet per line in iambs), this however, only has four feet per line (tetrameter), and it switches between trochee and iambs.
Thanks for your thoughts,

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
