Dogs as poems

[rayheinrich]

...
If someone wrote a novella and called it a poem, I would probably never get past the first page because I would feel that I couldn't trust the author. What I mean is that I wouldn't waste my time with someone who couldn't properly label their writing because I would assume (maybe inaccurately) that they must not know what they were doing.

Which was one of points: Pay attention to the content, not the label.
It's the smell of the rose, not the name.
If you don't, you're gonna miss a lot in this life (oh, yeah, and in
poetry too).
