How To Do Poetry?
How does one create a poem, a loving artwork of entwined words that sing, and keep it all so relevant, with not a nugatory phrase along the way? Open your senses, and see the world from every angle, let its nuances ring, and let each find its place inside your own mind, until they say what they will say.
Love each word for its quiet majesty, its unique place under the sun, holding to one place, with which you will struggle to find another to entwine. To capture a feeling, an ideal, a bit of memory on parade, sad or fun, and bind it into a story as it were, to share with anyone who reads those lines.
Let the words fill you, find your center, and they will write the poem with your pen, and along the way you will discover their magic growing softly in you. Dont I say write for others, but only for yourself, for that is what a poets been, a vessel holding the magic, and as surprised and in wonder as the reader in review.
Be not afraid to try, for along the way, they will rise in you and flow, into forms and shape your thoughts with gentle care, sweet partnership. Open your heart and soul, and let the words so softly take control and go, and along the way, you will discover that you too have authorship.
It is your heart, your trials and tribulations, your life that make the words, and it is your soul that will shape them into the poems, a part of you. Let them fly as they will like to heights you can not reach, your verbal birds, flying across the sky of a world only you have ever seen or know as you do!
