Oh my yes just started a class about poetry, in fact I've got a few that I have done for class already... some better than others of course.

I like Bukowski, but that's pretty much it.

It depends on the depth of emotion of the poet. There are so many I enjoy. I tend to have the desire to write it more than I do read it.

I don't actively seek out poetry. I've always been a big fan of haiku though. I've written a fair amount of it, but that was long ago. I like the minimalist picture that haiku paints. I'm also interested in photography and I see a relationship between the two.

I'm not really into the zen of it, but that can be interesting too.

I enjoy poetry, perhaps an occasional analysis if the author is deserving of it. But i could not bring myself to write one.

I love painting and sculpting with words, moulding shaping and blending so that the heart song can be free to shed its colours, its texture, and the drained and distiled feelings and emotions, that come from such powerful interactions!


Now aint dat cool? I love poetry!

Perhaps thoughts and words blend
into a lucid beauty, a lush growth;
they flame like a bright brocade,
poignant as a string orchestra.
But if you fail to make it new
you can only repeat the past.
Even when your own heart is your loom,
someone may have woven that textile before,
and to be honorable and keep integrity
you must disown it despite your love.

--From Wen Fu (The Art of Writing) by Lu Ji, 3rd century Chinese poet.
Translated by Tony Barnstone and Chou Ping.
