A Poet's Reason

Poetry is less about form, and more about content; less about tradition, and more about personal light and revelation – such penmanship, truly missals of meditation, cannons of Spiritual-occasion, for celebration and sharing – Seeking less to entertain with common particulars... but more, to write refrains worth a soul's imagined eternity – The thrust of autograph, always a sacred attempt at breaking down prescribed constructs of punctuation – vaulting walls inhibiting a heart's true emancipation – the freedom to be you.

Yes, 'breaking down those prescribed constructs of punctuation' - an idea whose time has surely come! Love it, Joe! ~ Grammar Geek

I agree! It is all about expressing our personal voice, as opposed to conveying information, or a common narrative. Thank you, Heidi. Have a beautiful day!
