Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Only Is Only

A color is only a color,
no matter how you shade it;
light is only light, no matter
how you brighten or fade
it – poetry is only poetry,
if an art-form and not a 
forming art – love is only
a doctrine, a study, a movie
production...until a living, 
hugging, fat ripe juicy heart!

Anil Deo March 11, 2022 at 9:54 AM So much truth. And for once, I wanted a longer ( more teaching) string of wise words. Art form versus forming art -- so, so good. Bravo JDm Joseph P. DiMino March 11, 2022 at 1:42 PM Thank you, Anil; please, go with that theme if it inspires you. I bet it will take you to a place for myself and others to be further inspired. Blessings! Your pal, Joe.

Kim Rodrigues March 11, 2022 at 6:41 AM Interesting, Joe! Yes, we can theorize about many things but it is not until one has experiential contact that one knows the depth of love and loss too. Joseph P. DiMino March 11, 2022 at 8:06 AM You know it, Kim; everything looks good on paper. Blessings my friend!
