Poetry Is


Poetry is both processing and process. 

Poetry is the naming and the name. 

Poetry is the discovering and the discovery. 

Poetry is primal; it is breath and emotion and creation. 

Poetry is wrath and compassion, sadness and joy. 

Poetry allows for mourning, and worship, and love. 

Poetry is describing the indescribable. 

Poetry is the mystery and the clue-

It is the inside of the cube. 

Poetry encompasses all, and is encompassed by all.
