Applaud The Asymmetric, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

My cat Kelly, a calico, a face of flow
Dark chocolate melting down her nose
Peanut butter swirl with fudge freckles

Are the fast food fries all the same size?
The raw diamond uncut still is by name
Does the pug nose dog stay at the pound?

I’ve seen prose and poetry just the same.
Plath’s “Mirror” follows no path
E.E. Cummings capital letters dash

We sing not in song in every context
Symmetry is not the norm in nature
The mangrove tree have snarled roots

The perfectionist may lose sight
Of the dangers of the Enigma Code
Manicured lawns are artificial

Did yoU gEt tHe
pOint?

I want to make it clear, I have no problem with fans of meter. But when you have read as much poetry as I have over 30 years, even with the giants, you will find gems that do not follow a structure. I only get pissed at people who insist on poetry being one style or always structured. For me personally poetry is ultimately about painting a picture, and that picture can be a small black dot on a giant white canvas, or a Jackson Pollack, or a cubist. Or abstract. I once saw an artist that was so extremely realistic he could paint a Polaroid picture fresh out of the camera and you could not tell which was the painting and which was the photo. But please, that does not take away from what works. It is just like pineapple on pizza, you like it, or you don’t and that is ok, but neither are wrong. A pizza can be a slice, or a rectangle or a square or a circle, but all are pizza. And some like bubbled crust and some don’t.
