A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone's knowledge of himself and the world around him.

Rage, rage against the dying light

Hands have not tears to flow.

An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do.

I have just had eighteen whiskeys in a row. I do believe that is a record.

Though lovers be lost love shall not.

Don't be too harsh to these poems until they're typed. I always think typescript lends some sort of certainty: at least, if the things are bad then, they appear to be bad with conviction.
