Which is why you find so few engineer-poets.  |

(lyrical) poetry is uttering the undescribable in your inner guts
regarding form, there's certainly a bit more effort into putting those utterances in either a sonorous and melodic package or in following certain structure very far from common everyday prose... poetry is regarding language as marble and a poem as sculpture.
I have to say I usually don't like a bit most of these self-published authors expecting a profit. The kind of guy who doesn't have a personal style because they don't want to woo possible costumers away and write in an overly polished sterile writing. They sound like they almost need to apologize for the reader to be, well, reading. It's dumbed down writing for a tweeter generation. we're fucked
