ILLEGAL POETRY

© 7 December 2007, The Griot Poet

Sparked from an e-mail from Thom the World Poet...

Commentary:

Her poetry is a little rough, but no more nihilistic than any metal-head-rocker-cum-now-Republican-family-values-proponent.

The slippery slope gets slicker: the definitions of illegal poetry will get lower and lower. I won't have to illustrate a violent act - just opposition to a government policy, or a You Tube video someone doesn't like may get us all "renditioned."

Haiku:

to my distress, I
confess: I am guilty of
thoughtcrime - freedom dreams!
