ACADEMIC POETRY vs STREET POETRY

I
DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO WRITE AS YOU WILL.
But harsh and unjust though it may seem,
Criticism makes poets famous.


Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
