Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Poetry Is, Is Not

Poetry is not the
manipulation of lyrics,
as the mechanic tunes
to sound using ears – but,
deeper yet, vital articulations,
the spirit manifesting its
vibrations (essence-forms)
onto paper, for the eyes
to read and the mind to
soulfully respond. Poetry
must electrify, surge across
interior meridians, leaping
established barriers prior
to explosively exiting! 
Poetry must carry the
nature of all that is
unseen, pleading to
surface, to know the love
and warmth of others, 
as a child needing 
weaning and burping –  
poetry is not an art...
It is our God of Living
Words.
