I'm not saying that poetry shouldn't be deliberately constructed--it is written word as art. What I'm saying is that it should read like speech as opposed to thought. Thought is fragmented and often unexamined. The Beats advocated "first thought, best thought," but even Ginsberg admitted to editing.
Art that requires much effort yet seems/sounds effortless--that's sublime.
