Commentary
CHILDISH AND CHILDLIKE
I think I’ll start a new theme in this poetry blog: Protestation. The truth is, my muse has thin skin, and she always starts spitting out ideas when something offends her. She needs to grow up.
Don’t get me wrong—my muse isn’t all bad. She also takes childlike delight in things that are rarely ever recognized or celebrated… but should be.
By the way, I don’t believe that song lyrics are inherently inferior to other poetry. But I bet some poets do.
