Kalikapsychosis - "Perfection is what its about. When you can feel, the perfection, of creation. The beauty of physics, the wonder of mathematics all the elation of action, and reaction, and that is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to" - Sam, hooked into the data stream

What My English Teacher Said (To Me)

December 11th 2007 04:47
A wise man once said to me,
write lots of poetry.

I did not see the point I said,
poetry is not much for hand or head,

There and gone, fleeting, I said,
words no longer needed after being read.

But that was when he said to me,
you must have the poetry key!

Besides the most important act,
the act of creation, thats a fact!

to make something out of air -
why before, it simply wasnt there!

And now its words and meaning and OUT THERE!
In minds and concioussness and heaven and hair......

And its something real, you made,
something by which sanity is saved.

Aside from all that, if its not enough!
Is the point where poetry gets rough!

Where you joust, and deal,
with poetry at her most real.

This is where I teach you to see,
more than just what the words free,

buried far deep in analysis,
bound to bring you paralysis,

All of this is in your poetry.....
This is what he said to me......

Kleonaptra, I have been nodding my head in agreement; very nice and thankfully not to cerebral. Raven

Raven,
He was a great man and I miss him to this day....I think I miss him so much now because Im finally writing poetry, which I always refused to do, and I know he'd love to read it all now!
Thanks as always for the visit and the lovely words....

Hi K

I know how much of an impact this man has had in your life - I really hope somehow you manage to bump into him again - you never know what words of wisdom he will have to impart after all these years again.

Oh, Ash!
Im sure, after a few more years to mature, he'd be like a fine liquor now.....All too good!
I need him to edit my bloody novel! It wasnt fair for him to start and disappear on me!
I hope I bump into him too, believe me - but that shall be as the universe wishes....
Thanks for droppin in!
