this is beautiful. it appeals to me on a personal and intellectual level. I want to sit and unfold these metaphors and imagery. I read poetry aloud and because of my own regional specific accent I think i sometimes miss cadence poems are originally written in, so I think there is a pacing of the poem that doesn't work for me. However, the imagery, beauty, forward thinking, analysis of community and cultural growth outweighs any stumbling blocks I felt. I loved the reference to our cultural propensity to ignoring 'what ifs' and avoidance of asking questions.
Thank you! 😀 If there was an audio section to read poems out loud, I would definitely do that. I like reading poems out loud as well. There is something beautiful in nature how a voice folds the words into a story. Hope you are having a wonderful day.
it's so true. we pronounce syllables based on emphasis, we pause, collect ourselves ...there's so much lost in writing poetry but also in reading. Still, the written allows for us to explore our own meanings.
Well said. And it is great when there are other people out there that understand where one is coming from with written poetry. For a long time (before I began writing my own poetry), I thought poetry had to be this abstract, only I can understand it form. But in reality, it is better if poetry is reader accessible. That is why when writing poetry, I ask two questions: (1) Does it make sense? and (2) What can a person learn from this poem?
Now when writing, I do not try to write in a particular form, but write with clarity as much as possible.
This is very inspiring in fact the first line in my opinion is the best. Something about the vision of earth sculpting a person is such a new way of looking at it. I’m left questioning what was sensitive content though I found it to proper.
When I was posting this poem the first time, it would not go through unless a flair was applied. So, at that point it was to flair or not to flair. Lol. But I am glad to see that the poem was not sensitive in nature.
