A recent discussion with a (non-poet) acquaintance brought up two issues:
1. He prefers poems that rhyme -- fair enough, that's the tradition he's used to
and
2. He would rather I just wrote the funny poems, because that's what I'm best at.
"I don't like all that other stuff. It's dark and twisted and I don't want to read something that makes me uncomfortable. I come to your page because you're always good for a laugh."
Discuss.
