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.
