An Inqiury into Today's Poetry Poems get shorter. Emails near non existent. Texts really shrink! We live in a world of 'xoxo' Or -)) an amazing, endless list. Our time, we tell others, is short. People have to guess what we think? Time so valuable, our full baptismal, wonderful names as initials? Do you fully get that? The question is existential. To me, your name is reverential. "PR" is so very cold, compared to Panagiota which has spiritual meaning Why, even our dogs and cats we call by full name! We poets claim a connection to the stars, yes? Who has ever called Orion, "O" of the moon, "M'" Or is that next? I see it coming! Where did this beast come from? Who destroyed the English language? I do not know, it leaves me distressed. The many languages from whence our rich English vocabulary comes, In the trash can of convenience rests! Now a tragic happenstance. We've shifted into a brave new world of Far Eastern poetry. I am grateful to all poets anywhere, who have not lost faith in English! As it developed and are masters with a pen and it's delegation and know very eloquently how to use it. Thanks to you, who unknowingly are keeping the full beauty of English alive for the coming generations. And not selling your heart to fast, one line poetry. And I understand some will disagree with me. I much prefer a fully literate humanity. 5/27/2019 5:45pm PST I can tell which of my poems are not even worth the name...."poem". I leave them there as a reminder to not do that again. Thank you! Apologies, Panagiota
