AUTHENTICITY of POETRY


When  people comment  
on the style or way 
I write and the words 
I use to express and convey 
my thoughts and views.
I tend to stop and ponder 
my road less traveled . 

Acknowledging,  appreciating , 
admiring the authors, teachers 
scribes of many nations 
and the outer regions of the universe , 
who have inspired , guided  encouraging ,
me to develop and advance 
my writing skills along the way.

People like Manly P. Hall
Socrates, Plato, Thales of Miletus , 
Thomas Aquinas , The Apostles ,
Sigman Freud , Carl Jung , Galileo Galilei, 
Benjamin Franklin , Thomas Edison , Nikola Tesla , 
William Shakespeare , Homer , Aesop 
and other well known Philosophers and 
critical thinkers in the world's history.

Authors like Dr. Edgar Cayce
Dr. George Brown ,
Literary genius and artist such as James Joyce ,
Walt Whitman and of course some of my favorite 
Authors George Orwell , Robert Frost , with their
extensive and vibrant vocabularies  
and their ability to bring words to life.

The most impressive  author 
with the ability  to put you in the room
And stimulate our sensations such 
as aroma and taste and sound to make you feel 
as if you are sitting in the cat birds seat.

An author with incredible and fascinating 
writing technique , a man with a colorful and sparkling  array of words , and superlative writing flair and talent  
that tickles the imagination. 

Capable of painting a scene with words ,
bringing it to life ,
like no other author has ever done before or since.

A story teller who can magically ,
create a vision so vivid so  profound , 
one just might forget and step away 
from reality for a brief moment in time.

An individual who can descriptively  describe 
the Animation of his imagination 
like no man or woman in the history of recorded time.

Creator and contributor 
of some of the finest sculptures 
in the world of literary works of art.

Born into reality in the year 1809 , on the 19th day of January. 
He would go on to reside 
in the harts , souls and minds , 
intricately  woven into universal fabric of time 
October 7 Nineteen Hundred Forty Nine. 

The individual who put the authenticity of Poe 
Into Poetry
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Edgar Allan Poe.

Thank You Jan, The Raven was colorful and dark at the same time. The System of Dr Tarr and professor Fether is Dark humor with a colorful insight. Written in 1845 it reflects what's going on in the world today
