Poem
What is Poetry? It is a theosophy of thought and commentary; transposed euphemisms of life’s temporal moments; It is an attempt to fractalize single ideas and envelop them with metaphorical symbols reinterpreted and played with. It is an enigma cloaked in a riddle; a search for questions still unanswered; the magical key that hopes to unlock the mysteries of life. It is a wantonness crying out for recognition and acceptance. a reflection in a mirror from a curious viewer intent on rediscovering a common humanity. It is the heartbeat of experience displayed in memories. the soul of time and space shown as moments of history. It is a moonbeam unseen but bright and clear on a dark night telling the tale of how the sun and moon danced together; -the secret mental secretions of man and woman; -the interplay of emotions laid bare on dried out parchments. It is the place where you are the player creating the tales. You are the inside story of the poetry of creation. CAK 1-20-2014 EXPLANTION: ‘Theosophy’ - refers to systems of esoteric philosophy concerning, or investigation seeking direct knowledge of the mysteries of being and nature, ‘Transposed euphemisms’ – placing words in a different of order to enhance alternative meanings of metaphors. Often used to create suggestive images. “Fractalize” - a made up word meaning to break up into many parts sometimes quasi-mystical, often using similes to describe the fanciful free style thoughts of the poet. “It is a wantonness”- unruly deliberate need that pleads for empathy and understanding from a curious viewer intent on rediscovering a common humanity “Heartbeat of experience” - Time broken down into moments of a beating heart remembered for its significance. We remember those specific events or experiences because they become one with who we were physically and spiritually at the time; an aspect of our lives that gets carried forward as a memory in our conscious or subconscious mind. “Moonbeam unseen” - the experience of love both positive and negative, unseen but compelling. Most often they involve the interactions between a man and woman but not limited to people only. I believe that 50% or more of poems written have to do with the many aspects of male-female relationships.. “Sun and moon danced together” – Romance between the sexes; emotionally charged compositions remembered poetically and expressed in all manner of written thought.
