novapsycheSome random thoughts on poetry that have crossed my mind the last month or so:
Poetry is beauty in objectification--it is finding beauty in objectification.
Confessional poetry offers one the opportunity to make one's own life a work of art and a commentary on that art simultaneously.
Poetry is an end.
Poetry can also be a means (e.g., as therapy/catharsis). But when it's at its best--when it's art--it's an end.
Words evolve right alongside our bodies.
Art is wrought of tension.
Poets deliberately manipulate language, moving a word here, there; tossing it aside; conjuring one anew.
Poetry is an interlocution between this world and the immaterial.
Poems are the braids in God's hair.
What the human race is mathematical poetry.
Art is the epitome of irrationality.
Poetry is words in a different dimension, captured in this!
A poem strives either to make the familiar novel, or the novel familiar.
Some poems are declarations. Some poems are intimations.
Finding your voice means finding your rhythm (which could also mean following your idiom).
Poets, too, need to learn the art of storytelling.
Writing comes in stages just as music comes in layers.
