POETRY IS.....


POETRY IS….

 

 

Not contained by common mould

nor do conventions rails restrict

my work created knowingly

and not obscured by open mind

its rendered form intelligible

in rhyme and  honest fluency.

 

Vision drives creative thought

autonomous and self-defining.

Set within a currency

extending far beyond mere words

where shape and content interact

together in their tenancy.

 

And so I choose to write

and what I write is merely text

quite uninspired by recipe.

The pen I use: the instrument

recording deepest inner thoughts

mandated for posterity.

 

Yet still I wonder:

what is poetry?

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

As I wrote in a couplet recently:

Beauty lies where it's assigned:

within the eyes, within the mind.
