Decoding Poetry
Poetry,
what is it?
Is it not all things
we experience —
Feelings?
Thoughts?
Ideas?
Wisdom?
Beauty?
Music?
Art?
In human existence?
Yet,
some claim
the words of poetry,
as if anointed
announcing to the world,
“I know the code!”
Poetry is not a code,
allowing entrance
only to a few
fettered and packaged
for the scholarly.
If I experience
my life
in the words of another,
is it poetry?
For it is I
who holds the code
to my existence.
In the end,
there is no right
or wrong answer –
Poetry is like dancing,
if it feels good,
do it!

Life is not to be passed by in a rush.
— Tom Turner
*****
Progress is measured
by richness and intensity of experience –
by a wider and deeper apprehension
of the significance and scope of human existence.
*****
Art is an indecent exposure of the consciousness.
— Herbert Read
