Poetry

Something very transcending about art -- 
my poison, Poetry!  I think of the pen
or keyboard as a wand. I wave and the
images of my mind appear, mystically
in the framework of a composition --
they do, sort of, materialize out of nowhere;
often not intending to write.  Then, possessed
a spirit substance gushes from depths of fertile
consciousness!  A place I fain where demons
and angels are at constant Chess.  I merely
a receptacle for their vehement rivalry.  The grace
of God, my goblet shape – they pour in and
out of me...when my session done, a rinse...and
ready to go again.

Poetry is magical and takes you on a journey. Sometimes it is wonderfully unpredictable when we create something unintentionally in this artistically chaotic playground within our minds. Well penned, Joe.
