Apparently many people's brains (as you are no-doubt aware) fall into different categories with regard to how they view the world around them. In your case it appears to swing to the logical side - with others it will swing to the creative side, but my own (and my younger sister - top dog in her school) swings both ways. I think it is all about focus. If you give yourself over totally to something, be it art based or logic based, then your brain will adapt. This might account for my own thinking as I've always explored every avenue with a totally open mind. There are big holes in this theory though as my other sister is totally crap at maths and logic. Anyway writing bonkers verse and calling it 'poetry' is damn good fun whatever

You'll get covered in dog doo
I'm gonna get off this sea saw
Say goodbye to your mama
Oh yea
Let's get high on some Pop Rock
Pop Rock and Coke
I'll blow your sock off, teach how to laugh at daddy's dirty jokes
Don't hedge your bets, double down if you want to get ahead in Tinsel Town
Turn that smile upside down
Happy people don't have sex
Now Robbie, everybody swings both ways
Thanks to Robbie Williams & Rufus Wainwright

Re: New poet
I’m sure it’s beautiful to those who love prose poems, on the other hand I love the rhyming nonsense, even rowdy verses, gimme a man with a mug of stout in his hand in a pub belting out “There was an old women God blesser, who threw her leg over the dresser…” anyday, makes me feel alive and cheerful, must be the bit of the devil in me.
