I wrote "Come Down" as a love poem for a frigid lover. But after reading Harold Bloom's introduction to the Best American Poetry anthology that he edited, I revised the poem for the elitists.
Perhaps, Mike, you do not care for metrical poetry, these days? 🤔
You're welcome to unfollow Well Met, if you wish. We understand that we're not everyone's cup of tea here ☺️☕️

I write metrical poetry, so I cannot be accused of not caring for it.
"Come Down" is about elitism in poetry, the idea that poetry is only for uber-readers like Harold Bloom.
It was just a question, not an accusation 🤔
Whose rule is set out in 'Over(t) Simplification', please?
PS: I haven't owned a TV for years, but my furniture is still here 😂
I almost never watch TV, although I do watch Survivor.
The simple rule is "Let poems be beautiful" without silly rules that put them in straitjackets.
It seemed like odd questions to me: Do I not care for metrical poetry and I'm welcome to unfollow Well Met.
I have no idea where that came from frankly.
I write metrical poetry and have always commented positively on Well Met.
Perhaps you were having a bad day?
Let's agree to disagree, Mike.
Let's just leave it there.
Disagree about what?
I'm an advanced reader and I have no idea what the problem is.
I have said nothing against metrical poetry and nothing against Well Met.
What is the "disagreement"?
Don't know, don't care, deteriorating, dying.
