Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 "What is Poetry?" .... "Poetry is news from the frontiers of consciousness. Poetry is what we would cry out upon awaking in a dark wood in the middle of the journey of our life. A poem is a mirror walking down a street full of visual delight. Poetry is the shook foil of the imagination. It should shine out and half blind you. Poetry is the sun streaming down in the meshes of morning. Poetry is white nights and mouths of desire. Poetry is made by dissolving halos in the ocean of sound. Poetry is the street talk of angels and devils. Poetry is the anarchy of the senses making sense. Poetry is the voice of the fourth person singular. Poetry is all things born with wings that sing. A poem should arise to ecstasy, somewhere between speech and song. Poetry is a voice of dissent against the waste of words and the mad plethora of print. Poetry is what exists between the lines. Poetry is made with the syllables of dreams. Poetry is far, far cries upon a beach at nightfall. Poetry is a lighthouse moving its megaphone over the sea." .... <snip> Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
