I hate poetry that rhymes, so I wrote a rhyming poem that describes my feelings towards the book so far:
_________
Oh how I hate the poets
Who do their best to rhyme
The scenes, feelings, and images
All twisted in a knot
Once beautiful, now dead, a godforsaken crime.
Ruined by a scheme of sound, poetry put in scrimmage
The verse, once free, now kept
to a strict and stupid time.

This poetry isn't hitting man. I'm struggling through it harder than Tyrese Haliburton in game 7 of the Pacers, Thunder series on June 22nd when Haliburton played on a strained calf, effectively dooming him to tear his Achilles and be rushed out of the game in the first quarter.
RIP Pacers. What could have been, should have been, but wasn't.
