The three-letter acronym COO stands for Chief Operating Officer, which is a position in a company responsible for managing day-to-day operations. In the poem, Moore declares that POETRY should be 'the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads'. This statement has become known as Dove's Declaration and is often used to describe the power of POETRY to create beauty and meaning out of everyday life.
