Imagine Poetry

Comment from Fish
I like this but:
"drifting our minds" would seem better put
as "our minds drift",simply because poetic license
verses proper grammar never flies.
Another problem:
It's a horrendous task to write such a small
poem about such a large subject with which
you are, obviously, not very informed.
When I read what you've written, when I taste it,
smell it, suck it down, well, it seems
like a Hail Mary congratulations to yourself.
When you are able to step outside of yourself,
and actually write it, you will have a better grasp
of what poetry is all about.
Good luck...
Yours, Fish

Well I do respect all reviews good, bad, or indifferent and as such I thank you for your comments. A bit hard to take toward the end of your review if you may have implied I am not sure what poetry is all about.
40+ years of writing poetry I feel I have a very firm graps of what it is all about. But again your opinion is taken and respected with all of the others. Thanks and have a great day..

Your so right, poetry is the heart and soul of our lives.
I liked the way this piece flowed. I think you are going to be a very popular poet here.

Thank you so very much for your words. I plan to post up here quite regularly if I can. Already have other stuff up here I guess you can do a search for me and read other stuff.
I am new here so I am not sure how all of this works yet, take care.

Blimey, larry, I like your 'modest' profile. Mind you, you look like Clarke Kent (Superman), and if you are indeed he, then you must be 'interesting'. LOL
Probably most of us poets have written a poem on the same theme. This is as good as most, and it expresses your reason for writing very well. Best wishes, ray xx

Comment from joan marie
One of the reasons I joined was to learn prose. But with poetry from all over the world I have learned so much about other cultures and how they see things and how they live. I have a friend in South Africa who never knows when they will turn off the electricity because they run out and cannot afford to build a bigger plant. I would never imagined living like that if I hadn't known her. It is an eye opener to read all the work from all the different countries. Good read. joan marie

Well done!
Especially liked these lines:
So imagine poetry, and where it began,
all it believes, to its future and end
and always accept, right from the start
that poetry forever can change the heart
