Missing Inaction

Apr1

Old friends so far haven’t found me.
Discovering this time-capsule,
would they swallow it ? Or hound me
and paint me as unnatural…

Would they revive forgotten nights-
ask me why I don’t measure up ?
(Recalling long-lost sordid sights
might fill brim-full my pleasure cup.)

I’d drain it to the dregs with them
if only they’d communicate
but time has drifted in between
and left my soul immaculate.

Poetry on Draft

Mar31

I decided to join National Poetry Writing Month this year.

When I first heard of NaPoWriMo, I thought the syllables were some kind of Tibetan mantra. Although I don’t quite get the concept of April as “National Poetry Month” (in the U.S.), I am still going to give it a shot. I find the idea of Poetry Month a bit absurd, like “National Child Abuse Awareness Month” (which, ironically, is ALSO April in the U.S. of A).

Are we open to lyrical reality only during that 30-day window?

Does our muse speak to us more in April than in other months?

Are children abused less in April because we are aware of their plight?

Still – I have more than 31 drafts and I need to post them…
so I will be a skeptical participant in Na Po Wri Mo 2014.

All critics know contemporary ‘published’ poets suck, but they refuse to state so.
When reviewing a hack’s book they weasel out of it in a manner as this: ‘Poet X’s book, shows real determination in the face of the post-colonial traumas that afflict young women in a world that does not grant them liberty. And unlike other poets her work shows a subliminal understanding of the sub-carnal schism between body and flesh that renders her verse a slim reed of delicate meanings.’

Good poems have changed the world – and the poems can even today. A poem can be expressed differently, is often more accurate than everyday words and comes with excellent sound directly into the heart and soul. Think with the poet captured the love poem to a woman and hit the bow of the topics love about happiness to sadness. Even if the voice fails, the right poem can take on the task of the embassy.

But fortunately enough, most events in life are cheerful nature or you can give them with the matching poem a humorous appeal. New poems we have written exactly that! From the high-class speech as a poem, short poems with punch and imagination and telling little stories as a poem, and more. Our poems and sayings are written in the correct meter and can speak and understand well. Did you know that a poem is really good only while reading aloud ? Then the language opens up more clearly, as well as the emphasis and the sound of words, the results only from rhymed lines. Give it a try ! It opens up to you a new world of poetry ! And not only that, because you feel the class of a sophisticated poem on a word choice that is more than just a tedious rhyme at the end of the line. In a good poem, the words of a line swing in another when speaking with very melodic. The most common and recurring events are birthdays. The theme of the birthday poems we have paid special attention.

And so we, the authors of the Scriptaculums, always try to keep it in the words of Heinrich Heine ( poet 1797-1856 ), who wrote about the art of poetry and poetry follows, quote:

“A bit of foolishness that sees itself always heard to poetry !”

And also Christian Friedrich Hebbel ( 1813-63 poet ) was us a mental model of his sentence, quote:

“Poetry is not to say anything, but to let us dream of it.”
