POETRY
Poetry is a unique expression where words meaning becomes as significant as it’s rhythm, or lack thereof. While sometimes confined to forms the limit the spectrum in which one may verse, the fact remains the same in all forms. How do we convey a better example of our personal understanding of the world that surrounds us.
I like to play with form and test boundaries, even with a single language, there will always be a language barrier The battle forward for words is just the way we can’t explain. And explanation when drawn out become more a challenge than a breeze, simply put, some times simple is sweeter. Ask complicated sugar, it takes a more tongue and spit to make the smile not quit as it slips into sucrose heaven. Don’t mind me, or do.
