A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Sounds

 

poetry is

the soft advance

of a voice

 

captured within

 

the din

of madness.

Thank you for the kind comment, Dylan,

I remember back in the 70's my sisters had their own version of boys collecting football stickers, with what we thought of as sickly sweet pictures and statements that were called "Love is...."
I'm amazed they haven't made a comeback with Instagram and all other social media sites, but it just made me realise that you could start a trend of your own with a collection of "pormtry is..." posts. 😃
This one could really kick off thar craze! 😃

I like this sentiment of what poetry is, or should be. Of course, if the poet happens to be Ezra Pound, it's part of the madness.

What you say aloud is not always what your brain says to you....sometimes our psyches are mad but we dare not scream....poetry is spoken in different moods reflecting what is in our hearts....

Beautiful thoughts Jacob, inner calmness is the most sought after song in the world , soft and lulling amidst the mayhem around us...this is real poetry not always the written word.
