I Feel - meaning Summary
Ironic Attack on Bad Poetry
The speaker launches a mock-violent diatribe against poets whose work is formless and lazy. With exaggerated physical imagery the poem ridicules those who fail to craft rhyme or shape, blaming their lack of effort for poor verse. The tone mixes anger and comic hyperbole to dismiss bad poetry while asserting standards of craft. It reads as a brief, personal outburst about artistic responsibility.
Read Complete AnalysesI feel Very much Like taking Its unholy perpetrators By the hair Of their heads (If they have any hair) And dragging them around A few times, And then cutting them Into small, irregular pieces And burying them In the depths of the blue sea. They are without form And void,/ Or at least The stuff they/ produce Is./ They are too lazy To hunt up rhymes; And that Is all That is the matter with them.
