So, What Is Poetry
So, what is poetry?
A fond hobby? A dear pastime?
For some, inclined thusly, it is the
cliche' “My bread and butter” –
for others, to be sure, more a
journey toward spiritual discovery...
seeking enhanced enlightenment – desire
to make transparent man's multi
dimensional shell of physical enclosure –
personifying a mortal's deepest need to ascertain
his Divine source, by looking down the tree,
beyond the soil entrenched root
of man's bony, sentient spine...
So, what is poetry? It is a place
where the poet travels to both cleanse
and play – a candle when needed
for the night...and a salve to help
when doing bout
with a blistering day....
