(Not So Sheer) Poetry in Motion

A Poem by Pete
"

Good poetry seems so simple and natural a thing that when we meet it we wonder that all men are not always poets. Poetry is nothing but healthy speech. - Thoreau

"Poetry is the only life got, the only work done, the only pure product and free labor of man, performed only when he has put all the world under his feet, and conquered the last of his foes." - Thoreau

beautifully written. I love how you say so much with so little. In the first 2 words I see a beginning and then a bitter end. In the next verse I feel the physical symptoms of the emotion love and faith bring. Then as you bring the poem to a close, describing it as poetry I feel is just plain genius. I also like how you sum up the first two verses as commotion. Life definitely has a lot of that. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes to you.

I love reading, writing, music, nature, God and feeling emotion, not necessarily in that order. To me, these things go hand in hand. My favorite writer is Henry David Thoreau. I think he was a geni.. more..
