nonsense
masquerades
as humour
on celebrated
platforms
sensibility mourns
untimely demise
of word-gems
framed in exquisite jewels
peddled as poetry
abstract beauty
gives way
to crass
in-your-face
monstrosities
pick up a book
on the way home
it may be the antique
you sell
to host a
comedy show

The comedy shows and their canned laughter annoy my sensibilities. I think I’m intelligent enough to know when to laugh without being prompted! Good write.

Thank you, Beverly! I’ve seen poetry readings where the audience is prodded to clap. Certain artists need that to keep up the tempo.

You said it very well! Nonsense seems to be the name of the game!
I feel this way about the music that is coming out these days! A lot of la la la and very little depth of words in the lyrics!

It is all about exciting rhythms to dance on, rather than meaning.

I feel that we should turn of the comedy shows and listen sometimes.

Yes. I guess certain songs sound better on audio than visuals. One can soak in the spirit of words.
