Poetry In All Her Forms Transcended

Ian McCleary 1992 (Morris Plains, NJ)



There is a poetry of life that transcends the written or oral traditions of poetry.
This poetry is in and is creation itself,
it is the life that lives outside of the head and
body.
Poems of those two traditions have been eclipsed by the look and sound of everyday things.
Poems are already written into that living thing you see before you.
You understand though there are no words, what it is saying back to you.
It is it's own personal message to you.
You don't need to know how to make sentences or words, just ahh! beautiful,
or maybe watch it in silence.
More energy exists in the experience, than when it is written down or told by the means of a story.
Whatever amount of energy was of that experience or in the way you responded to that event, now as a poem or lyric it is now the subject to rehearsal, which by then proves the experience has outgrown it's suitor.
