Who cares about his opinion, He's only a man who teaches, Over me he has not dominion No matter how far he reaches.
A learned man indeed he be, But still just a man of learning, Who imparts a special key That unlocks the hearts' yearning.
Yes,he is just a man who speaks His ideas how you should think, But not knowing the mind that seeks, He is still standing on the brink.
So please ,sir,in honest rhyme, Type your response to me, For this was in ten minutes time, A rebuttal that I hope you see.

About this poem:
My rebuttal to this:"World Poetry Movement A short lecture from Charles Bernstein, Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania: "My lecture is called “What Makes a Poem a Poem?” I’m going to set my timer. It's not rhyming words at the end of a line. It's not form. It's not structure. It's not loneliness. It's not location. It's not the sky. It's not love. It's not the color. It's not the feeling. It's not the meter. It's not the p...lace. It's not the intention. It's not the desire. It's not the weather. It's not the hope. It's not the subject matter. It's not the death. It's not the birth. It's not the trees. It's not the words. It's not the things between the words. It's not the meter-... (timer beeps) It's the timing." Click "Like" if you agree. What does he mean by "the timing"? "
It is just his opinion which carries much more weight than mine,but,I don't care.This was an immediate,spontaneous response.I wonder what he meant,lol Thanks
