About new snow

Writing shit about new snow
for the rich
is not art.

    Had I lived during his lifetime, this guy would have been my friend. I love his stuff.

    How is it that this is labeled as being written in 1894, when his biography here says he died in the 1820's?

    Another oddly categorized poem. More a sommentary on paid poets writing haikus for rich patrons. Write what wins you the contest or pays the bills but not from the heart or soul.

    A brilliant bit of poetry.
