The Quintessential Enthusiastic Medium

Poetry is your first walk in freezing cold snow a carnival of whirlwind words that often spin you around Poetry can be sorrow on the end of a cold tree branch drama, excitement, joy, disbelief, and humor Poetry may be a person’s soul splayed out on a page a weird conflict of ideas, that somehow makes sense Poetry is confusion, consternation, a confection of candor in anonymity, she unites us with our self as writers and readers Poetry is a raven forevermore, Coleridge’s wailing of a demon lover a boat of enthusiasm, thoughts we have never shared, shown on a page Poetry is the quintessential enthusiastic medium she lands without apology, not expecting but accepting agreement.
