Poetic Defination?
Poetic writes speak volumes too,
this profound nature of humanity;
expression's glyph or determination's rift,
each soothing rhyme or base profanity;
provoke of consciousness that drift,
so casually or with rude insanity;
furiously incite or simultaneously delight,
set straight a thought or induce banality;
unconscious rubric struggles forth,
within the cleave of line, phrase and meter;
guides a casual readership towards,
all present trends hidden in a bard's demeanor;
exposing just who seems ubiquitous, who is ingenuous,
or just simply stubbornly ridiculous;
one's sensuality splayed, our generosity bade,
your critical natures shown meticulous;
senses not semantics, rule of roles revised,
lines of life's romantic, cleverly devised;
discovering our thoughts on everything,
exposing our minds to Id and ideals contrived;
methods breached lift conclusion's reach,
an ill-advised tome reaps the thought's divine;
nurtured reasoning replaced by jest,
releases the distain hidden within a mind's set plein;
within this relief be it muse or beast,
rests an orators mirth, or an epic myth's imply;
poetic license freed, such a thing indeed,
that “cat's meow” bests a graven image's belie;
metaphors and idioms when used correct,
add intrigue and delight to a word works vamp;
bathos taps one's inner laugh, hyperboles,
release a poem's waft, jape and poet's stamp;
pleonasms reinforce, oxymora juxtapose,
litotes understate, analogies delineate… cognition;
and irony, an express of verbal, dramatic,
cosmic or Socratic, lead to a write's ideal fruition;
understanding each of these parts implores,
partnership between, these particles and that of yours;
expressing the limits of personal tastes and so much more,
you, your dreams, schemes, hates, fears, tears and rapport;
binding together all of US, and create the bonds that thus sustain,
poetry to living life, to easing strife, within the poet's world domain.
