Poem-A-Day: Poetry by Alfred Kreymborg

Poetry by Alfred Kreymborg Ladislaw the critic is five feet six inches high, which means that his eyes are five feet two inches from the ground, which means, if you read him your poem, and his eyes lift to five feet and a trifle more than two inches, what you have done is Poetry-- should his eyes remain at five feet two inches, you have perpetrated prose, and do his eyes stoop --which Heaven forbid!-- the least trifle below five feet two inches, you are an unspeakable adjective. Today's poem is in the public domain.
