Let's poeticize

Good poetry is like a song that sings to your heart and you have to love it, even if it reflects nothing you see inside yourself; you just know. Bad poetry is incredibly obvious because it hurts; walking against the grain of existence. It has meaning for only one, a lie that whispers to their heart alone. Perhaps it is not always a lie sometimes bad poetry can be perfectly true, true for them True in the truest sense but the lie comes in formatting why was this even written as a poem I often ask? If I have to ask there it goes and I have forgotten. Really it must be said though that poetry takes bravery takes trust in a reader in ones self for poetry can only be written as such it as all things comes in the service of truth and beauty. Anyway, I'm going to write more poetry, maybe I'll post it later bad or good. I don't want to be a poet for some reason but I just can't help it.

In case you were wondering this thought was inspired by some bad poetry I have been exposed to in the last few months and Marco's poetry which I finally read, and I think is very beautiful. (And can be found on his website http://zoosphere.com/archives/31)
