Poemattic: Poetry and Art for the Soul

A Poem is Born

I was thinking how powerful a poem could be. We need more poetry. Don’t you think?

A Haiku
A Sonnet
A Cinquain
whatever its form
whatever its meter
its birth is inevitable
and necessary;
its purpose explicit,
Born to soothe,
mesmerize,
and stir powerful thoughts
sometimes.

I believe a poem can change your life forever. I know many poems I read as a child made a difference in my life. I learned to believe in me. My senses started living along side me. My appreciation for nature and life increased by one hundred percent. As a result I paint, love photography, and I listen and try to pay attention a little bit more to everything around me. I also became a teacher to honor all those teachers who set me straight about life and learning.

    Yes – I truly do!
    Poetry is a powerful Art, albeit diluted nowadays, but I still hold hopes that it might recover.
    Thank you for promoting it, we all matter uniquely to this ancient craft.
