Calling all poets!

 

Is ars poetica, just a dream chastised?

 

Are poems still possible?

Can we survive without words?

Do we write poetry to live?

 

levels of truthfulness aside

all these verses to be expressed

at the fringes of language play

burning with desire

where my foreboding and suspicions are addressed

 

downtown I lean against the wall

at that old fashioned main street corner drugstore

those cold hard bricks of time

one by one cracks and all

they are like influences that persuade no more

 

perhaps, I am just imagining my muse

I’ve been shattered and now can I reproduce

all these  new teachings that seem so diffuse

 

or, Is ars poetica, still to be realized?

An interesting piece. I am a firm believer that the simplest of things can inspire the most extraordinary of ideas. You paint a perfect picture with the least of words, so I do Congratulate you.


A picture may say a thousand words, But a story tells of somthing greater than any pencil could imagine.
