A good poet is as wonderful as a good artist in any medium.Captainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365011424910566512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958291870130613296.post-32123486586078762862010-05-03T20:30:02.488-07:002010-05-03T20:30:02.488-07:00I'll tell you why it is that I enjoy Poetry so...I'll tell you why it is that I enjoy Poetry so much. I like it because with very little writing a good poet can express emotion and feeling that can captivate a reader even more than a novel or other literary work of merit. I find poetry more difficult to master than any other form of writing, because it is much more than arranging words in a beautiful manner. I feel I can accomplish that. Rather, you have to capture the essence of complex emotion which would be very difficult for some to capture in a few stanzas. When I write I want to include every fluttering thought that is loose in my mind. Good poets can bring that emotion to the reader without replicating their experiences that led to that thought process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958291870130613296.post-67910365981288130602010-05-02T17:47:58.102-07:002010-05-02T17:47:58.102-07:00As I noted “at the Agora” I agree with the Captain...As I noted “at the Agora” I agree with the Captain on this. I do not claim to be a believer, or an agnostic – perhaps I am both, what I do claim is that as long as science does know hold all truth it cannot be used as a basis for denying the existence of God. It as if a troglodyte decided to deny the existence of television; definitely not beyond his human ability to comprehend but beyond his experience to explain or disprove.Lysishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669231502705943487noreply@blogger.com
