Poetry Is a Process

POETRY is a process not an artwork to admire. Words to say, caught by the day,a one-off,’ as is’ moment, images in sound.My voice spoken, a unique sigh ‘twixt you and I. A mayfly moment of the here and now,ethereal and passing near, to create an oral impression in a listener’s ear.My poetry long lies, undisturbed and dormant on this p age. A dead object ‘til the cadence of my voice intones, instils, and the poetry process comes alive. Listen to me recite my poetry on youtube under my pen name ichthyys

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed hearing you recite on youtube, Brian! Sure makes it seem like the distance between our shores isn't very far ! Hope you and your family are doing well :)
