Always a Friend

Poetry, You are Illumination! Not the point of descent but the ascending apex of God's triangles – you come to me, a bride...after the dutiful converse, you come to me, dear wondrous composition~ wearing your verbal gown of transparent white: Why do I write? And why breathe, make love? The in and out of creation somehow such death and resurrection becomes us both, the draw of life despite the often editing crosses – We are best when up against the wall... that writer's block, that impasse, that paralysis!~ poetry my sledge and saw, the reason for eyes and hands, power to transcend vision into new horizons however they defame you, my lyrical rib: abuse you with singsong cords and hackneyed personifications, even the erudite who only basically attend to me you are nearer perfection... Always, a divine lover and friend!

Like Kim, Prince, I like the comparison to a bride. I see no sing song in poetry. There is a great similarity between lyrics and poetry. We can remember songs we like because the lyrics are repetitive. “Silent Night”is an example. We do not recall narratives. I, for one cannot. Lyrical poems sing on in our souls. Nave a great day!

Thank you, Kim; I see poetry as feminine, mankind's feeling nature. I know, real men write poetry:)) So do real women defend our nation.
