La Danse De La Poesie

~~La Danse de la Poesie~~    The Dance of Poetry A great dancer knows, the pain and practice Of stretching, all the body, every limb. A great dancer never disses a great dancer as a lesser being. I will never be a Baryshnikov with divine style and grace. I am lucky, if I get my feet in first place! I am but a beginning poet, like a dancer who, knows it's best to follow master poet's cues. Without reading and knowing classic poetry, I'm just a punk rock poet blowing my own horn.  at the poetry tree. Dissing past masters as ignorant will in no way improve my performance. No, not in the least. So if I want to tour jate or batmanteaue,to fly with art across the page to you~ The classic poets, indeed will I read. And never insult them as lesser than me. That's cutting my own poetic brain and not allowing the fullness of my growth In this grand terrain, we call, poetry. Panagiota Romios 4/17/2019
