Poem Title:
Poem
From Latin and ancient Greek, English derived three words: poesy is the creation, the art work of poetic composition. poem is the created, with beauty of language and expression. poet is the creator or maker, with the gift of poetic thought, imagination, and eloquence of expression. A poet is born with a troubled and jangled spirit within, forced to express what is seen, imagined and dreamed in words for themselves and for anyone who hears or reads their works. A poet is a miserly wordsmith, in love with words, their meanings, sound and strangeness. A poet is an artist, painting with words and expression, but not constrained by form or method. A poet is a skilled craft person, creating and making works and compositions, but is not restricted by tools nor craft rules or disciplines. A poet is a skilled musician using rhyme, meter and rhythm to create word scores, but can also use line breaks, punctuation and the words themselves to create sounds. Often the sounds made are jarring and discordant to create an effect or evoke a response, but not all poetry is for a performance. A poet is a peddler of emotions and feelings evoked in the writer and reader, eliminating from deep within and as reactions to what is happening or not happening. Poets are free to use whatever verse and form they choose. There is no right way to eloquently express their art and craft; it is the poet's choice. The best description of a poet is a person with an eternal fountain of jangles. The jangles of emotions, feelings and life's journey within must be expressed, written or spoken about. Nature and the world about triggers jangles, metaphors, memories, responses and associations to be expressed. The poet writes to be read and have their thoughts and mind outpourings jangle response in their audience. Artistically rendering words, much loved and cherished, in ways to evoke intense emotion in the hearer and listener. The poet seeks jam sessions of free improvised jangling with self or with anyone who reads or listens. The poet a lover of words, a wordsmith, peddling jangles.
