Mastering Poetry
Reading and Writing Techniques
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood, the unknown healing all wounds of reason.
“The aesthetic properties of art are, in and of themselves, a form of language.
Art speaks nonverbally, emanating from our hearts and connecting us first to ourselves and others.”

Poetry makes an excellent conversation, beginning with a lump in the throat and then spilling out like sweet and savory liquid honey, ending in the most natural wisdom.
To be a poet, you need to know when to listen and when not, as well as begin every day with a moment of silence, during the day listening to the children who are always on, we can learn as much from them as they from us.
Poets need to befriend isolated thinkers, enjoy their gift of gab, recognize universal truths, listen to their intuitions, and welcome the muses that are their best fans.
Poets must give credence to the “unseen” to know there is no coincidence and appreciate free will.
Poets need to ride the winds with glee that blows through their minds and to write those thoughts down before someone else does or before they’re forgotten altogether.
Poets must learn to appreciate the sun setting, a bird call, a quiet garden, a clear sky, and a creative effort with an unambiguous pen.
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood, the unknown healing all wounds of reason.
