Anybody Can Write a Poem (Bradley Paul)

Anybody Can Write a Poem by Bradley Paul

Love this. It starts with, as the title says, the idea, the truth(?), that anyone can write a poem and ends with his mother and gives a reason (the reason?) he writes poetry - that he just can't shut up.

I love that this poem contains the modern (an Internet argument) and the ancient (mothers and sons) and also gives a taste of the personalities and relationship between the son and the mother.

I want to read more  from this poet.

Favorite line: "I am arguing with an idiot online."
I am arguing with an idiot online.
