Poetry

Who really knows?
I certainly don’t.
I can write long lines.
Or I can write very small lines that just end						
abruptly.											         5
I can make a rhyme at any
moment.
It can be a crucial component.

I can write in stanzas,
But those are essentially paragraphs, right?						10
Well, no.
That’s why they are called stanzas.
Stanzas can contain repetition.
Stanzas can also vary in size,
just like lines can.
But mine will be the same in length.

poetry is poetry; walks on the level of mystic mystery; make epoch and history. No need to jailed in specific definition and chain, it comes spontaneously from the heart of natural being...///

Very cool and fun to read. Poetry is a little bit of everything I think. Nicely done.
