Poetry is about paired-down words, making, forming, creating. It is art, the essence of language, meaning a fundamental creative act using language. Accomplished poetry is a distillation of language so that meaning shines through. Powerful poetry is utter, it pulls no punches and is not concerned with excuses. It celebrates joy and highlights the natural sadness of our human condition, poetry eulogizes the cycle of nature. Poetry is romantic and poignant and it shows the compulsion of our heart, the engine of our ambition, and the spirit of desire.
