WHAT MAKES
what makes
a poem
Shakespearean?
I was asked
the je ne sais quoi
signature
of the bard
indeed
hard to replicate
if you are
thing digital
disembodied
intelligence
binary being
some residue still
mechanical I warrant
no matter how polished
(like reflective
sculpted metal)
the lark-like artifice
with
which you sing
what
makes a poem
human
hold
that thought
set play
to pause
stuff in my answer
I still need to dream
