Restate My Assumptions

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 8, 2006, 6:01 PM
Restate My Assumptions

1. Poetry is audible; it is music.
2. Poetry is intellectual; it is enigmatical.
3. Poetry seeks an emotional or philosophical truth.

4. All poetry desires to approach perfection in all three aspects (previously mentioned), simultaneously.
5. Poetry exists only in the mind, and can never be replicated. Readers are co-creators with writers.

6. The one perfect poem does not exist.
7. Poetic perfection does exist, and has been experienced. Every true poem reaches perfection, in some mind at some moment. Greater poems achieve this with greater regularity, in greater diversities of minds.

Not particularly. Though I would advise you to stay away from the earlier stuff; it stands still in my gallery as more of a stake in the ground or a notch in the wall of my ability. I rather enjoy gauging each piece I produce against my earlier works, trying to pick out what I've improved on and what still needs to be worked on.

You're welcome to anything contained therein, however. Thanks for reading.
