Had an argument tonight, about poetry.
Is all form, and poetic semiotics geared to erotic, or is there truly a pornographic form of poetry, stripped of all metaphor? Sure we can do it in free verse ... but do we? Can we do "porn" in a poetic form sans all semiotics? (I am form obsessed right now) Can we strip down the flower of sexual metaphor to the base of fucking ... is it poetic without semiotics, without flower?
And ultimately is poetry erotic by nature, or raw and pornographic?
