Without love, and its many mysterious interpretations, there is no poetry. Love is poetry's core element. And a poet is addicted to love: may it be people love, love of nature, science, etc.. Passion, equals Poet. To Definitively define love is folly, for there are libraries full of such feeble attempts -- Why I write more about poetry's driving forces, refraining from any precise clinical referendums.

Oh, if only to reach and touch, so easily, where eyes and hearts can deeply travel in a dreamy instant.

And when His blood, touched the ground, Divine light permeated the entire earth...His Mission complete, that the Son of God would henceforth reign, a living, brilliant, conscious presence, one with man, in His Father's sacred humanity. So bright was that moment, that on physical planes all else seemed dark by comparison. "It was finished, it was finished; the Divinization of man, and Glorification of God in His Creation (Hanna Jacob Doumette)". Not to be saddened...but rejoice with Christ!

Poets can lead also. Their troops the hearts and souls of humanity.

One can even argue, that when at our best, the human heart and spirit are pure poetry. That is poetry. Like great music, art and prayer. Like Great God!

Some of our greatest English poets, did not rhyme anything. Poetry is a compelling sense, a feel of flare and rhythm that tingles the Soulful Spirit, setting mind and heart tunefully singing.

We breathe in what we need -- make it our own...then breathe it back to share and thus multiply its goodness. Our importance on the blackboard of every Nature-schooled green plant.

Science has found, various forms of life where some of the most extreme environments on earth exist. With all the trillions of stars and planets in the universe, the greater question to me is, not whether there are other forms of life out there...but what could possibly prevent it!?

Indeed, artists have unlimited tools, ways for creative expression. The artist himself defines what freedoms and limits. When successful, he prospers...when not, he cleans restrooms on the side, till such glorious day.

If we can think it, it is possible. What we think is already true on some level of dimensional experience. And all experiences seep into one another in very poignant, saturating ways.

For sure, all is the mind's illusion -- mental images are substance. Sort of like, the foundation beneath the visible home.

Nowhere do I see complete annihilation...everything seeming to be reused or transformed into something else. Who knows? Lots of mysteries, writers never short on themes real and rightly imagined.

Nature is never at fault, nor God. We choose where to live and play, bucking the odds. But no one is to blame -- life is a gamble from start to finish. The heart is a risk taker.

Your Divine Spirit is an open book of spontaneous reference. I have met people who seldom read the bible...yet, most every word they speak and action they take, is Biblically correct. Am I saying, no need to read the bible? Absolutely not -- if a sense of emptiness, loneliness, dissatisfied existence, read, devour, savor! With ultimate goal of becoming....

Probably, after food and safe shelter, a quest for wholesome novelty is our greatest challenge in life. A lack of it, often leads to destructive behavior.

No matter how one, slices, dices, spruces it up, puts lipstick on it, when it comes to writing poetry, AI is plagiarism...just like parts of this sentence.

AI should not be allowed on creative writing sites. When identified use, the writer should be banned, in an effort to keep the integrity of honest poetry free from artificial stink. AI will soon write a new interpretation of the bible I am certain. A logical interpretation, but void of spiritual essence. AI is not a tool, like an encyclopedia or text book with valuable examples of meaningful reference, it is a soulless entity that will lead to ever greater intellectual and moral depravity.

Yep, the night out, is not always the same as morning reflection -- which do we treasure more? A warped fondness for even many of my mistakes -- I say, show mercy to one's own heart.

Romantic poetry is not about wisdom, truth nor lies -- it is about being fiery alive! Every word breathing, exploding with passion.

For sure, see it, next feel it mentally -- then will it into physical being. That is true Free Will. Free Will is not simply making choices. You have it in the palms of your creative hands, needed only to be set free.

Indeed, life is for living. Burn brightly! Both day and night, blazing way to find. Every pore, every thought we have, an electrified flame of being. Hell a cheap, phony duplication. Each of us, born of blessed starlight. Greater the divine fuel as we move on.

God lets us choose! The indecisive nature of man's soul why it has taken so long to move on to the the next stage of blessed evolution. Free Will does not mean simply making choices -- 2,000 years from now we will still be in the same spiritual rut, maybe living on radioactive islands, but nothing will change until we decide to change our rebellious, destructive consciousness. Christ never left us...the Christ in us, the Holy Spirit with us, is our salvation in the palm of our hands.

We are our own worst physicians -- to do little, or just pray (not that I do not see the power in prayer) -- is to knee-cap our prayers, giving them local crutches and not dynamic, divine wings.

My philosophy is, if one can't write it a bit differently, why bother writing it at all, no matter how pretty or motivational the work -- why repeat what others say beautifully? Creation is infinite -- why limit one's self, and one's God? When writing I throw out tons of publishable material, till a phrase pops onto paper, that has a hint of something original. Then I go with it. Let the Muse lead.
