Some Say

Some say, poetry is an art! painting pictures with words – the artist may reply: “Then why not just paint?” Some say, that poetry is music, words being the Poet's instruments – to which the musician may reply: “Why not just play?” Some say, poetry is a voice: the poet's choir of sounds, echoes from his soul's sonorous cathedrals – to which the singer may reply, “Why not just sing?” Some say, some say, some say...to which the poet may reply: Yep! Yup! Yip!

Hello Joe ... what reply would an artist give if a poet asked "why don't you just write poetry". Guess the answer would be "yup". - thank you Joe - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay; a good question? Most poet's, I think, dabble in all the arts, as I do, and am certain you do also. Art of all forms, I think, is part of our core spirit -- anyway, I like to imagine so. Blessings my friend!

As long as it communicates with a quality to excite mind and emotions, as yours does, Joe, I'd say it’s art.

A stunning logical challenge so well stated, my friend Joe! My reply is written two years ago in a little poem of mine:" Painting is soundless poetry expressed in a myriad of heavenly hues While Poetry is an audible painting glorifying God's manifestation in the Cosmos!" © Demetrios Trifiatis Be blessed, my friend!

Well done Joe, you bring out a great point that a poet is a facilitator of all art forms~Poets paint with words, carrying a sonorous tune and orchestrate with the strings of soul. Blessings, Paulette
