who create art with words
the way a painter uses color
we want to share a special,
personal vision of the world

we can create images
and use figure of speech
like a painters colors
our words can put the
imagination to work
help readers see in new
unexpected ways.

we are like musicians
concerned with sound
creating a pleasing melody
is what we stride for
we choose words carfuly
and revise repeatedly
until reaching the climax
of sound

we are like sculptors
concerned with shape
and form.
revising is chiseling words
for the shape desired
we concern ourselves
with the length of our lines
and use units called stanzas
as a tool
we have strict forms and
forms for the free [comments] => 4 [counter] => 165 [topic] => 25 [informant] => tammysoleno [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

"Art" is a term that too many interpret too restrictively, I think. I've been having this conversation repeatedly of late... YES! Poetry... painting... music... sculpting --- putting these various forms of art together on the page here makes perfect sense to me. I love that you have done so and don't find this piece "rough" at all. Well done.

Welcome to YPDC, by the way! Hope you stick around for a while : )

Yes a draft indeed, once you are done, the poem should look fine.

Very wonderfully put. This is a debate going around in my circle of friends at the moment, I think I will pass this on to them.

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. ©
