Poetry and The Artful Dodger

So here we are in Metalworking manufacturing the perfect cosh, I mean, poem. Something to hit your audience over the head with to achieve monetary gain.

You have got to be able to hold the poem in your hand. But at the same time it had got to be dense enough to knock your victim out with.

Harder said than down.

So density of language - it’s gotta hurt

Lines instead of sentences - pauses where the victim goes ugh! and Agh!

Metaphor - you are saying one thing but hitting them over the head with another

Rhythm and Rhyme - Swing softly above your head and swoop low

We will go into this with more detail soon. I learned everything I know from the Artful dodger
