Poetic Definition

by Michaelw1two Poetic writes speak volumes too, this profound nature of humanity; expression’s glyph or determination’s rift, each soothing rhyme or base profanity; provoke of consciousness that drift, so casually or with rude insanity; furiously incite or simultaneously delight, set straight a thought or induce banality; unconscious rubric struggles forth, within the cleave of line, phrase and meter; guides a casual readership towards, all present trends hidden in a bard’s demeanor; exposing just who seems ubiquitous, who is ingenuous, or just simply stubbornly ridiculous; one’s sensuality splayed, our generosity bade, your critical natures shown meticulous; senses not semantics, rule of roles revised, lines of life’s romantic, cleverly devised; discovering our thoughts on everything, exposing our minds to Id and ideals contrived; methods breached lift conclusion’s reach, an ill-advised tome reaps the thought’s divine; nurtured reasoning replaced by jest, releases the distain hidden within a mind’s set plein; within this relief be it muse or beast, rests an orators mirth, or an epic myth’s imply; poetic license freed, such a thing indeed, that “cat’s meow” bests a graven image’s belie; metaphors and idioms when used correct, add intrigue and delight to a word works vamp; bathos taps one’s inner laugh, hyperboles, release a poem’s waft, jape and poet’s stamp; pleonasms reinforce, oxymora juxtapose, litotes understate, analogies delineate… cognition; and irony, an express of verbal, dramatic, cosmic or Socratic, lead to a write’s ideal fruition; understanding each of these parts implores, partnership between, these particles and that of yours; expressing the limits of personal tastes and so much more, you, your dreams, schemes, hates, fears, tears and rapport; binding together all of US, and create the bonds that thus sustain, poetry to living life, to easing strife, within the poet’s world domain.
