[hometext] => A sudden outpouring of voices blended from past that fell into the present all at once
[bodytext] => It began with the opening of a door... The courage of the Poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness. Author: Christopher Morley ... then the closing of a door ... Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess what is seen during a moment. Author: Carl Sandburg ... and concluded with a realization ... The true poem is the poet's mind. Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson ... in all the journey took less than twenty minutes and I was left with this ... This Is My Darkness Then I open the door To the demons within [ this is my darkness then ] I thrust out my lantern And offer them light [ burning, brilliant, bright ] What becomes of a man Who would keep them at bay? [ hearing the words, but not what they say ] The lantern goes out And I pull the door closed [ what did you see … that you recall most? ] I watched as they scuttled Away from the flame [ movement poetic by all but in name ] Therein the truth lies Contradictory term [ proof that existence has now been confirmed ] This is MY darkness then ~ [comments] => 6 [counter] => 256 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Nazmythian [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 48 [ratings] => 16 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

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. ©
