To me

poetry about poetry

What is poetry to me? 

I can’t say. 

I’m not a poet. 

A dusty tome of words from learned fame resting to impart feelings.

Pay a king's weighted penny and they will bound them in press neat publish. 

Written for consumption by the maul of pupils. 

Fare hanging gems of gilded script not dangled yet they form a string.

Its meaning gives it sustenance. 

Fill it with commonality of personable identity and we nod to each other in universal graduated understanding. 

I could nudge it off the ball point acid free pulp.

No longer needed.

The ink now dries digitally.  

The fear of being forgotten!

A poet? 

[Our naked humanity] || as. 

Life’s wet pigment.

A livid glossy dream mirror filled with atoms fire.

Love how you defined your definition of what poetry means to you. Lots of times people only see poetry in one type of format or style. You created a style that is your own. Keep writing.

Thank you I was asked what poetry meant to me once and wrote this in response.
