On writing...
Writing must strive to rid itself of all phonological connotations and dependencies in order to be a separate entity distinguishable from its spoken counterpart. Once the sounds and formations of words take precedence over the inherent meanings of symbols writing is no longer writing but a written verbal expression, a rather innacurate representation of a spoken communication.
A true written poetry will not rely on wordly mellifluity, alliteration, or cadence, but rather the subconscious mellifluity of progression of ideas, the alliterations of similar concepts paraded in unison for maximum effect, and the true cadence that results from transitions of disparate ideas.
