Re: Re: Re: Corbin - Cal me dumb but - what doesn't mix?
I'm not into poetry.... I do see excellent work and compliment it, but I don't sit down in front of my fireplace and say to myself..."Ahhh....Now I can read a good poetry book!"

Re: BC-A
Most excellent point, Bill. Something not poetic, is definitely lost posing as poetry. 5

Re: Corbin - Cal me dumb but - what doesn't mix?
The "To Each His Own" thingy? Or poetry in general? Or the article saying it's the journey to discovery? Hey, I didn't write the thing. I think you prefer a poem that has a message, makes it's point, leaves an emotion in your gut, and it clear enough and well-written enough to cover those aspects in a cohesive manner. Is that close? Yeah, me too. lol.

Re: TAPS - Good one.
Same here. Some, take a while longer than others. Some, never. lol. I like the ones that strike me with an emotion right away.

Re: Kabu Darling
You are too kind and I agree with you that creating your own meaning is not only the best meaning, it is the only meaning, for you are the reader, and it becomes your poem as your read it. Or should become your poem if it connects to any feelings within you. Your skill and CC's is exemplary and I love you both.

Re: C_C_T
Thank you for your input. If one writes "for" someone, an audience, well, I can't say because I've never developed that skill. Rhyme is difficult for me at times these days, as it come off sounding forced or sing-song. I used to only write Western style rhyme. You are lucky you can write in rhyme.
One should have a message in poetry, or else, what's the point? That's what this article is about, enjoying the journey of interpretation when the message is so obscure it is virutally unintelligible. I'm not saying I agree wholeheartedly with it. I have read some poems like that; esoteric stuff known only to the author. It's frustating to the reader. Those differ from a message which is clear, but requires a bit of background knowledge, contemplation or study, I think. And yes, I am very honest in my expressions of poetry, which is not to say each poem is a full gospel of truth.

Poems are for it. Or else, it's not a poem. In other words, it's not poetic. Is it? It's prose or non fiction.

It's a "To Each His Own" thing.......I have to admit that it just doesn't mix with me. No fault but my own.....

Some poems are so much more meaningful if I read them outloud in several ways until I seem to get the gist of what the poet was trying to get across.

quite often just saying the words out loud I can create my own meaning, especially from you and CCT for both of you are way beyond me in the art of writing poetry. and I love you both as very dear Sister and brother.

I suppose in way it is whom one is writing for. Really perhaps one should be writing for oneself. I unusually use rhyme merely because i am then given an opportunity to stitch the sentences together. If one feels truly emotional about something, rhyming does not matter as one is hopefully interested in the content.One should be able to give a feasible reason for expressing what one might wish to call poetry. You RP are I believe to be a honest person in your own writing.
