Poetry: The Foie Gras Of Literature

I don't like foie gras either.


Steaming Volcanoes
The ocean holds meetings on the sorrow of Eternity's volcanoes.
Cool!
Well-deserved bananas!
A wet cave blows bubbles in inquisitive water.

The moon bathes in the dew drops of reflective laughter.
Hark!
The sun shines like the agony of refrigerated abandonment.
Yea, the agony of refrigerated abandonment!




This masterpiece was not, in fact, written by an actual human being. It was created with a single click at http://www.jelks.nu/poetry/. Therefore by appreciating poetry, we are letting the machines win. When internet programs can replace literature, what's next? Robot sitcoms? Imagine every show being "The Jetsons", and every character on "The Jetsons" being Rosie the Robot Maid. Next week on Two and a Half Bots: Optimus Prime tries to talk the Terminator out of his crazy scheme to change the future, and R2D2 has a crush on his teacher.
