Meme by my friend Mel

Another oldie, because I am sick, hope you will like this one.

Something you must understand Letters spoken are just air They are but grains of sand, Are landing anywhere Letters get their meaning When woven into words Only my mouth is failing For my words are blurred Sentences are living Deep inside my heart They're singing there and thriving I turn them into art Both my hands will weave words Into dancing rhyming strings Carried by amazing birds That make my heart sing *** August 2016 Copyright © Darren White

I believe you are trying to say letters-become-words-become-sentences-become-art/poetry. The issue is, how you say it. Letters are not air, we don't speak them, they are glyphs we write. *sounds* are spokes. I think you need to figure if you're weaving words from letters with your keyboard via words/sentences into poetry -- that's an amazing image. Or sounds with your voice via slam... Pick one, work with it and own it. (I promised you a comment of substance--here it is).

Oh yes, they're all art--the question is, which art are you discussing? I'm not saying you're wrong--only that you have a muddled ...muddle of non-focus and if you pick one, you can clarify and ... crystallize. :) I *love* your voice and depictions.

You promised, and you delivered :) It's also very interesting, and you are right. Letters are thingies on a paper, sounds are air. I'll work on this one.... For me though it is not as binary though, words are formed with mouths and on keyboards or paper. Either is art.

My mouth cannot do that, but my imagination can. I see images, not words, for me words are alive that way, and intertwined with images. I'll let this one sink in, and work on it.

it's like you're crocheting your letters into a warm blanket. Weaving your words...into a symphony. And you are the conductor who's directing the musical performance. I see it now. Beautiful piece, ya akhy :)

Oh Penguin. Words and expression such as this can never be considered an oldie. It's considered being placed up front and center to be seen read and felt. This is beautiful and gentle that makes this reader sing. Honestly. And yes, this is from the heart. May today be a better day Pengun. This was eloquently and gently expressed which makes this so appealing.
