[New-Poetry] Re: Solved by substitution of terms

[Anny Ballardini]

I think I'll have to agree with James. If you look at art, masterpieces were painted by pupils and then the Master took the brush and gave his strokes. It is nothing but the genial intuition that only few have (thanks to experience, practice, and something that can be defined: talent). As Hitchcock said, just pieces of shots put together, but the way you do it makes the difference and the differance!

  Fair point.  But my problem with the definition is that it is so simple that it doesn't function.  As far as I can tell it doesn't seem to distinguish poetry from Op-eds or sociology textbooks in any useful way.  Lots of language provokes ideas or emotions.  Poetry swings them.

      Simply, huh?  
    He didn't say simply put together.
