People forgetting their shoes



When you continue to compose
           you start to forget the structure one should
                  start writing a piece of poem.

Writing in ways dissimilar to the norm
              in hope that others follow your pattern instead of the
                                    others expecting familiarity from you. 

Speaking the truth to what is truth to you.

Ferlinghetti in his poem "People getting divorce" is one such literal inventer
that re-envisions the flow of words. From his poetry I see not only the brilliancy of
story-telling (how he could assimilate the emotions of divorce in comparison to the lost
of a pair of shoes) to the ingenious of his structure. Just by looking at his poem we know that his story is different. His story is not going to be boring. 

He extends poetry to as much a visual experience as it is an auditory one. As his words engulfs me with fascinating delights.
