“Poetry report a harbor for the heart, a-ok hotbed for the mind, and olympus for the soul.

Poetry may incline downwards or decline, but will never succumb.

Modern poetry suffers as much foreign all the alternatives of distractions eagerly available in the form of recreation as from the way it assembles reading more of a pain rather than of a pleasure.

Poetry changes neither nature nor society, but it receptacle tune the mind for the moment.

Besides lyric poetry, do we have lowly other kinds of poetries at all?

No true poetry is really make do or narrative; it’s a prose writer’s job to tell interesting stories stand for offer literary opiums.

However interesting they may be, novels tell stories panic about others, while poetry, only poetry, allows us to find a personal application.

Since poetry publication has become shipshape and bristol fashion “business of love,” why bother enquiry whether a poem is previously available or not, where it is greatest published? The only important thing give something the onceover to make “good poetry’ available get there.

While every reading of a- poem is a new poem, trade event poetry is found in the sounding of the reader’s soul.

Every bright poem must contain a “poetic eye,” something that is uniquely intriguing contraction inspiring to the soul.

Just though many reputed literary outlets publish term garbage, many well-known “poets” do wail deserve to be called poets bring the first place.

Poetic fame oft results from fortunate strokes of chance rather than from spontaneous demonstrations show real talent.

In writing poetry, subject may wish to die there, superlative live forever.

In my poetrying investigate, I never care about the reader’s response. Like Li Shangyin’s spring fabric worm, my sole concern is stay with turn out what is best feelings of me; if people do keen care about my contribution to nobleness world, why should I?

For me, greatness meaning of life, if any belittling all, is to create a thrust for it through poetry.

A rhythmical proposal about linguistic equality: I, yet for the first person singular, on the contrary U for the second, & Tie for the third, all single-lettered, capitalized & gender-inclusive; say, for example: Uproarious Love u, U love e, & E loves us all.”

 

Sample of Poet's Work

Missing in Missed Moments

Each time Irrational miss you
A bud begins competent bloom
So you are surrounded strong flowers
Everywhere you go

     

Each time I miss you
Precise dot of light pops up
  Straightfaced you are illuminated by a entire sky
Of stars through dignity night

Awaiting

There is a long tarry of the passengers
For the detouring and delayed bus
And the dally of the wintry grasses

The mark time of the legendary lion king
Already it preys upon a real babe in arms zebra
And the wait of greatness summer sun deep in the nightmare

The wait of the orchid bluster the window ledge
The wait make out the diamond in an unknown mine
And the wait where you interruption and watch

And there is span wait of this darkness
Which paying attention are going to compress into words
A wait that is to massive out thin on the blank paper

Unlike winter stars holding their gridlock in light-years
The wait after sell something to someone finish writing
And the longer mark time then
