Two Extremes, No Average

Two Extremes, No Average

A Poem by theunionisloud

Hello!
Who am I?
Why, I'm very.
All or nothing.
Extreme, Irrational.
I don't care for
whichever adjective
f
o
l
l
o
w
s
,
So long as 
I am
A Lot of it!
If I knew about moderation,
I'd be
very
moderate.
Extremely
SUBTLE
But that would make me a
huge
liar,
And I'm a 
Really,
really
honest person.

There is almost a meaningful contradiction here. SOme people will compliment the format, I am complimenting that inner meaning that when looked at kicks right in the balls.
Extremely subtle..almost a moving paradox.
The humor is here. The fact that you say that it deosnt matter what adjective follows BUT you dojn't want to be a liar and say you are honest.
Clever my dear, and drags the reader to see it all.

The formatting is almost there to throw off the reader from the meaning which is a dangerous game, but it still comes through.

Nicely done

Again another jazz song analogy, "All or Nothing At All"
This has both a modern and retro undercurrent,

All nuance
All molten emotion.

with a twist of wit.

I personally see nothing wrong with the combination illustrated here.

I really dig the flow and how you arranged and shifted the words. That's something i'm known for doing myself. The only thing I would suggest is maybe possibly work on the last stanza. It seemed too simplistic. But I think this has great potential to grow into something more if you work on it. I still like it though, it has a beat generation/early diane di prima type feel and i can dig that.

I love how self-aware it is.
