Interview with Self

Musings

How do you know if you're a poet?

Does one ever really know?

Well, it seems that you're very prolific in your writing. Do you consider yourself a poet?

I consider myself a Weaver of words.

I like how things sound.

I like how they roll around in my mouth.

I like the texture of it.

 

Excuse me the texture of it? You make it sound like it's a lover.

 

I guess it is a lover.

With a lover, do you not find passion

With a lover, do you not excite easily

Do they not make you cry the cry of 1000 heartaches

Do they not make you long for them to embrace you

 

Oh my, I've never thought of it that way. So, your lover is poetry?

 

One of my lovers is called poetry, and the other, well…….

Reviews

[M.E.Lyle]

I have crazy conversations with myself all the time. I think we all do. You are correct in your assessment of poetry. I think you've captured something quite ingenious.
I'm worried now. I like the taste of wine, the way you swish it about in your mouth, the fragrance it sends out.
Am I a wino?
Actually, I don't drink. I'm not against drinking, I just don't do it...anymore.
Great thoughts you bring us here. Keep up the great work. I'd like to see some more of this talking to yourself stuff. I think I may have done something similar to this...somewhere.
Have a good day.

It's funny how you compared it to wine. Poetry, when it hits you just right, can feel....
Yea, like wine. Thank you for commenting.
I will try to post more self-conversations.

[Twilight]

Yes, do. Thanks for sharing, Fia.

[Twilight]

That's lovely, how Fia really does appreciate the richness of words. She makes comparisons too, with being a lover. I would very much, consider fondness for words, and the raptures of physical love,; to be far too different for comparison. However, positive and contented people - and societies; very much thrive when both language and human love are fully appreciated.

No better lover than poetry, in my humble opinion.
A delightful work.
Poetry can inspire all passions I would say.
Love how you compare it to a lover.
I very much enjoyed reading this piece.
Thank you so much for sharing.
A poetess, indeed.
Take good care friend.
