Beginning again

I am beginning to blog again, because I want to share my poesy.

Poesy: The work or art of poetry composition.

It always starts with sinking into mindfulness of a particular situation, experiencing and accepting it, living it fully.

Real images and starting points, concrete experiences, atmospheres described, circumscribed with feeling and adjective. Highlighting, expressing experience. Elocuting experience. An experience, singular.

I try to let my poems live with one experience, and only one. It is expression, not meta-cognition. It’s the barest, deepest, strongest speak I know. Writing poetry brings reality to my experience, validating the beauty and richness and worth-while ness of it. Writing poetry is acknowledging who I am. Reading the poetry of others lightens up my world and raises my eyes to the future, to my surroundings, to what is real and grounded and shared in the human experience. Elocuting, speaking it, elucidating it. Beauty.

Enjoy, if you please.
