[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => I am the pronoun prisoner; "I " the letter's very shape is a single bar; many taken together my prison make, IIIIIIIIIIII all lined up in a single poem sometimes too many. We has the "w" open-ended to the sky posture of the supplicant wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww all together taken is the congregation praying. Me has the "m" all battened down closed to further input and scrutiny-- mmmmmmmmmmmmmm reminds me of soldiers off to war; 5th battalion. The"u"in us is my favorite symbol, reminds me of home. uuuuuuuuuuuuu a wonderful image, a fire place, a cord of wood nearby. Each letter I think is part of the art, little sculpture pieces which added up contain meaning transmitted linguistically. For me, of course, poetically. there's nothing better conjugated than a wonderful poem, given and received. If these shapes on paper convey short and long term ideas, and feelings then I am content to worship them in their paper-based cathedrals. So drawn my eye so touched my soul by word miens and countenances it must be for me a form of language-love. Good thing for a poet to have, like children on a page playing, we tend to watch them there love, pride and anxiety all in the mix conveyed. Language is the arching sky over which this all plays, the linguistic linguini we serve ourselves for sustenance night and day; expanding and limiting all we think or say; revealing and concealing. Words, and meanings are like play, Excuse me while I Capitalize; but lower case seems humbler (ode to ee *****s) but then one can OverThink any thing and end up with mere wonder. that goes no where, has no second set. But, again-- here the double guess; language facilitates and confounds something animals I think know nothing of cursed or blessed you think? Still, it is all we have to communicate meanings. Language is there at birth, there at death, weddings, war and famine. With it we intermingle, mute or loud, our feelings. We cannot be who we are or are not without it. Needs and deeds are acted out but, are mute until language intervenes. Any powerful deed does not exist if it goes unrecorded, to a generation it is lost to time receding. But add to it heroic words or language colorful or condemning, each deed is immortalized memorized introduced each generation; never-ending, culture-fused. What magic here! What wonder is this to make pronouns and adverbs the ultimate form of word-play and human alchemy; deed to word form genuine gold, learning, generations, culture. No, there is art here too language art, representational and otherwise; the wonder of it all living underneath the mind's fine canopy. Oh, watch next time your "P's and "Q's" Scrutinize their shape, place them ever so gently upon that lovingly written page. No small deed here, no greater responsibility; this by the way linguistically does to me smell like linguini. Learn to play- Language is good for you. Good Bye. Humm...notice how the "G' seems to wave. Ah, maybe it's only Me.

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. ©
