Poetry Prohibition
Base XP: 30
Canadian Aboriginal poet Daniel David Moses once said in an interview,
"Maybe the high school aged should not be allowed poetry.
Most university students only begin to be able to get it.
Restrict access.
Prohibit it like drugs.
That might get them reading and eventually writing it."
