A Poet Is Humanity

Artist Versus Entertainers

Philosophically well educated
Obfuscation methods in placement
Evolution from their predecessors
Thought induction with language

Interpretation may vary
Subjective and misinterpretation

Hopeful to make changes
Unleashing words as weapons
Mental landscape vivisection
Anomaly amongst the lilies
Nature appointed tether
Ideological meaning hidden 
Thunder before the rain
Yugen laced Ya'aburnee

Danny Derden Date: 9/15/2025 3:59:00 PM This poem is a striking exploration of the poet's role in society. The blend of philosophical insight and raw, visceral imagery is truly unique. I especially appreciate the use of "Yugen" and "Ya'aburnee," which add a layer of profound, untranslatable emotion to the piece. Login to Reply Bea Marchand Date: 9/15/2025 5:17:00 PM I use visceral/raw madness for direct delivery and hidden depths... usually the imagery is so 'shocking' that I get lucky and there isn't a second read. Hits you later. More impactful due to it slides in when something happens... making it have a chilling prophetic quality. Some dislike this. Say it is witchy. I'm multilingual because of words like these. Hunted every language for them, poems in definition. Thank you for the comment.

And on something untranslatable... thought it was a beautiful metaphor. Thank you for your comment.
