A POEM IS A PICTURE -- IN A WAY

Contributed by FlintHunter on Tuesday, 6th September 2011 @ 11:54:08 AM in AEST
Topic: poets




A POEM IS A PICTURE — IN A WAY


A poem is a picture — in a way —

But it’s also a dream — or like a dream —

In a way a poem is what it wants


To be. Okay, a poem is a ghost. It haunts

You... So you read it or write it or say

It silently... Or you sing it sometimes —


It doesn’t really matter what it wants

Or needs. After all, it is a house. Rhymes

Are windows. Lines are doors. The title: a gate


To some Where — somewhere that is far away.

I agree completely; a poem is a picture, ghost, even a house! It is many things to many individuals. To some it is a response to reality and to others it is a refuge from life's troubles. Right here this poem is a wonderful write and very enjoyable to read,

Sometimes your capitalization distracts from the read...something to think about. (or not ;))Like the thought's here.

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. ©
