Poetry 101 And Some

When I write
my goal is to be
impersonal as possible -- 
giving all credit 
or defeat
to the Muse, Devil or
God of a partner.  

To my mind,
Poetry, must speak independent of
the author, using a schizoid sort of
logic -- 
            there must be a life
exhibited, that upon completion
the author, reads back with as
much interest as any foreign tourist or explorer
thinking: "where did that come from?"
Then I know, in my own humble way,
though not having touched the face of greater
creation, I have at least seen a small feature, moving on
with better sense of future direction, what to strive for 
while in further pursuit of the art.  Poetry, like everything else one does 
in life, should be viewed through a sacred lens -- 
in order to do one's best, and for best results....  As I cloudily
ascertain.  My method.  I know nothing.
