:) Poetry is never normal, it is the individuality of our expression
or vice versa as human beings.

life in itself is a nonsense where all expression whether thought or written
can find reservation to commit and reward; and for those who find normality
i wish him luck. :) Poetry is never normal, it is the individuality of our expression

no order can be sorted or intellect beckoned

Stéphane Mallarmé - who I am assured is a very important French poet - based an entire Theory of Poetry on the notion of 'la fleur idéale, absente de tous bouquets'.
Lewis Carroll was there decades earlier: 'No birds were flying overhead / There were no birds to fly."
If only folk would pay attention to the better sort of nonsense, we could probably get along without poetry.
I believe Plato says something similar in his Republic.

Plato argued whether the delights of love were better imagined or experienced.
Poetry used to be read aloud - a truly portable artform. Stéphane Mallarmé changed the rules and fewer poems can be read aloud now. Most literature is read silently anyway. It's easy to tell the writers who subvocalise from the ones who don't.
Lewis Carroll is quite different from E E Cummings, for instance. In most of his work - even when it is about boolean mathematics - his voice can he heard.
