[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => What makes a poet more beloved than others? The genes he inherits from a talented mother? His ability to write lyrics that flow and rhyme in two or three or more of his lines? How about pictures that he forms in your mind, provocative, common, accepted, sublime? We're on the right track with imagination; It's time to bring this train to the station. I want a poet who is sure and pure in all that he tells us, regarding the text. I want a poet who leaves me in laughter and bits of ridicule. I'll take a poet who makes me think and doesn't care about breaking the rules. I want a poet who tears at my heart and, makes me feel the pain in his soul. Give me a poet who educates me and leaves me wanting to set a goal. I want a poet who can paint a scene of love, disaster, devotion or peace. I'll have a poet who feels when he writes like an actor playing a role. I like a poet who cares about God and stands his ground and won't appease. Yes, any fool can write about love, and twist his words to rhyme. It's most important for a reader to feel, experience, envision and learn. Plato, Aesop, Shakespeare, Browning, and all the greats, present and past, cared not about phrasing, rhyming and rules,.... they just wanted to join their souls with yours. *Lady Poets: Please don't be offended by the references to only males throughout this work. I'm from the Stone Age and learned to use the 'male' gender when not being specific.

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. ©
