The Windchimes' Grace

So, very much like the velvet softness of poetry. It doesn't bang like a drum in your ear. Nor is it the sound of raucous laughter in a cheap, bawdy, theatre. Big words that provide nothing but confusion? Do you expect poets from huge dictionaries to get contusions? Poetry is anything but tap dancing in garish poet costumes on the poetry stage. Some are poets genuine, not poet impostors. Anyone can follow a form, let's face it and claim to be a poet, how poorly they fake it, The true poet has a heart and loud drums and a chortling crowd cannot erase it. Being cheap and tawdry,is not a poet's fare. He or she has a handle on life's heartbeat which they handle with The tender sound of a windchime's gentle sound and share. 10/18/2020 Opus# 3

That is all most like a koan. Sureley all write from the heart! But I can tell when there's a poem that's words on a paper vs words with soul. There's much I do not know more than know. Hugs, Pangie xx
