Narrative Poetry: Learn More! Poem by RIC BASTASA

different?

Though
his earliest poems
are
formal and satirical,

he quickly adopted
the new forms
of Brazilian modernism

that were evolving
in the 1920s,
incited by the work
of Mário de Andrade
(to whom he was not related) .

He adopted a
Whitmanian free verse,
mingling speech fluent
in elegance and truth
about the
surrounding,

a few improvements

many times
quotidian,
world,
with a fluidity of thought.

Notice something
We've made.

are you jealous?

sorry,

i am not telling
you

that i am writing this one,

i am not telling
you

that i write for you

or myself,

sometimes, i challenge
the hypocrisy

of the poets
who feel the way
you do:

hubris!
