Poetry is


Poetry is there where we are not so sure, there where the edges blur, there where we leak into each other, between the cracks in the words that we say, there where the light leaks out in a wondrous way ...

viscereality -- Ezra Pound extrapolated that, "Rhythm is form cut into TIME, as a design is determined by SPACE." or the temporal, therefore rhythmic, distribution of the elements of language -- the texture of expectations, satisfactions, disappointments, surprisals, which the sequence of syllables brings about -- the physiological link of rhythm to heart and lungs brings the reader into the Poem with that viscereality --

visceReality in the poem -- vortex prayers 'n fractal wishes, on the edge of an ancient-ache in time 'n space matters -- I've always loved the flowing stream through rock 'n root making many whirl'ds -- those vortices apparently whirl down to the atomic level thus stream-cleaning water of biological hazards -- sometimes I write from the rhythm not knowing the words but using a sort of shorthand where phrasings are place-holders of syllables -- as pointed out this often ends up illiterythmically inspired -- nevertheless, motion is what creates something from nothing; as Einstein mused when considering the beginning of the Multiverse, " something moved " -- as such words become 'dynamos' of rhythmic punctuation when musically driven by inspiration -- this is why the 'thought' is conjectured to be a sympathetic motion in the brain from sensing Nature all over again -- the Poet who writes from that serendiptous-connection having mastered the word-image-rhythms can therefore incite the emotives/feelings/thoughts in the reader where a synergy of the relationship of observer/observed becomes tesselated interactively -- I throw a rock in the stream and watch the ripples fill the unbounded cavity of your brain, where these ripples ripple all over again -- so, she writes her insights with a lyrical pen that babbles like a brook of words that meander down the page while unfettered glistening fish jump from line to line seeking the source of their urgent drive home -- thus does poetry roam
