[bodytext] => She is a poem
with many purposes. She is written by a man who seeks serenity in his imagery of her, sturdiness and passion. She is composed by a mother, a brilliant and skilful poet who writes with a critical eye, about the way things are and the way things used to be. And a father, discerning man that he is, writes her yesterday, today and always, in subtle, gentle words, imbuing her with meaning, connections, value and purpose. His words run deeper than she will ever realize. She is a limerick, written by friends who laugh at her predictability. She is read by students as a psalm, a word of truth? a familiar invocation repeated over and over again. A brother glances at her rarely and spends little time seeking out deeper meaning. Perhaps he doesn't understand poetry. Often, she is written in poor form, or misread by "poets" too busy to read into her words. Poets who produce dribble and question her lines and stanzas, her structure, knowing their own work is bunk. She writes herself, a most difficult task. She scratches out, edits, revises, proof reads, spell-checks, scraps and starts again, every day of her life. She is the most vocal critic of her poem, having read many better. She needs form, colourful language, a better word for "being." Perhaps a haiku is the most powerful complete, direct, thoughtful, uncluttered, simplified yet rich in meaning. Powered by the world around her. Assemble all of the poets and the critics- a writers' workshop, and compose her life for she is a poem.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
