Describe yourself using poetic language. And, Why poetry?

Follow-up: What’s the most cliché topic in poetry and why?

A: Wandering rogue, would-be superstar. Why poetry? Because the only other thing that gets closer to pure communication is music. Poetry is about saying as much as possible in as few words as possible.

Heartbeat: Love, because people want to make love safe and are afraid to face its raw power.

A: My vivacious love for life can only be expressed in my presence. Why poetry? There are no rules and there is no judgment for your expression.

Teen Angst: Unsatisfying desire. It’s an emotion everyone thinks they feel at their best and their worst.

A: Chaotic lover of the blues attempting to mind-meld with unconscious America. Why not poetry?
