a small presence

a small presence

 

 

the epitome of genius

in ruptured verse

that run-over feeling

when the verbs don't comply

with the inspiration's strategy

 

we are non-conformists

rewriting history from a poet's perspective

no wars, no hate, no shootings

no nothing

but pastoral lines 

harboring safe sonnets

 

no drunk poetry slams

pistolero prepositions

ending sentences

with life imprisonment

 

genius

is as genius does

and just a touch of it

 

is a calling to a happy madness

so, who will answer?

Poetry a Pandora’s box or as Forrest said like a box of chocolates you just don’t know what you are going to get. Moods and events dictate the theme of many a poem.

I'll take the chocolates, thank you.

dear Jacob… a brush of mystery as Curtains close and the shades of burnt Amber disappear where tears remain for another day. Softly, Pat

thank you, Pat,

Great questions. Is poetry an addiction? Is poetry meant to be understood or felt?

I think felt...and I know it is an addiction...it is my fix, for sure...
when I don't have my muse, I go into withdrawal.

Fine lines between genius and crazy, as told. Your wonderful poetry sir Jacob is non-conformist indeed and free-haired flowing. I'll bail you out somehow if you get any life's sentences.
Happy Holidays Jacob to you and whoever is left in your family. May the New Year bring much creativity and cheer to your corners.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I appreciate you, Sami!
