Freedom of Poetry

An appeal of poetry is its lack of rules... though not to be loose as a plucked goose – without bare essentials for flight struts of logic, living words that excite with lift long after the reading and initial gliding a pleasant aftertaste not necessarily sweet often profound such seasoning (therefore, freedom unbound can be a self-inflicted noose – God yet dealing with His man, on the intellectual physical loose Poetry~ a harbinger of potential wings Poetry~ the elastic of sling-shot words woven hemp of curiosity and senseful affixation, tautening the the literary-bow for enabled focused release Poetry, the loftier dialogue of both war and peace can be a voice of cold desertion while also the arms of love's entreating embrace... with pestilence of hell while equally possessing the charm of saintly chants~ Poetry, the voice of victory and defeat, co-joining of calm with fear, for their similarity of awe Poetry, a writer's quest to make sense of both soothing nature and seasonal temperament of our creator His sunny risings then quakes and deluges confounded– poetry, somewhere within our fanciful journeys imagines a deeper truth that witty penetration will hopefully incant off the page rising up and out into blissful new unbound, forever enlightening living reality Poetry, a soaring liberty and grounding addiction....

Love how you've exploded all ordinary/conventional boundaries of poetry and given it its place as the 'Monster Roving Back of the Universe!' Huzzah, Joe! :) gw

Hi Gershon; thank you my friend. Of course, I love poetry...so, for me, poetry is one of my main founts of creative expression -- for others, it would be perhaps something else, but equally dear to the group or individual: I think, it is all about love...what we love, our hearts and souls pour into...and out.... I am sure you agree.

Wow... ! Your elucidation of poetry transcends all boundaries and flies high touching the length and breadth of its immense scope."Poetry~ a harbinger of potential wings? Poetry~ the elastic of sling-shot words". I love the phrase.. 'the elastic of sling shot words'. Yes, it should be loose, but should reach the target. Too many rules make it in handcuffs, but too much freedom makes it a vagabond. I hail the 'soaring liberty' you have allowed to poetry. Excellent rendition. Into my FAVE
