Poetry is so mysterious. I love the collection of quotes about poetry on Addie Zierman’s post today, especially one by Dave Harrrity: “They aren’t silver bullets, tweetable platitudes, divine deliveries, or didactic directives that help you “be a better person.” If a poem made your world easier, simpler, or more livable, then it’s almost certain that you haven’t read a poem.”
On the Frustration of Poetry
I danced the dance
fought the fight
did the hard thing and listened to my soul.
And when it was said, I
presented it to him,
that teacher,
that Know-it-all,
that God.
And all he said (though not unkindly) was
“that poem’s not finished
keep writing.”
