Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 This is not a poem Poets kiss and tell Poets mate with God And tell the world Ps: Well, at least the first sentence is true. But seriously, most good poets are contemplatives. Even those who don't believe in a deity, or a spiritual realm are prone to rapture's attack as the intellect subsides and the senses quantum leap to direct perception. And here is when our poetic inclination betrays us in its indecent rush to translate rapture into words. Poets beware! Don't leave bliss's nest to crow before the chicks hatch.

Again, your comment is mean-spirited, unkind, and rude. You have nothing to teach me, so get off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be you see, that yes, Larry is too possessive about 'his art.' That he 'does art' to feel special? That he is hurt if 'his' art is dismissed? That he uses spirituality to sell, like a guy pimping his own mother? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
