Needy to say.
Words have sounds
Words are lyrical when sung to your own self.
Words have a rise and fall of enunciation
Words can be subtle and discreet
Words are a stream that flows, liquid and malerable with playful intent.
Words shape our thoughts to share with other people
Words are defined as them selves
Words are a common truth of people
Words are the best thing to happen to us since... (well going right back... Words put us at the top of the food change... the brain evolved to give us language... There was a time that we just made sounds like Hmmm... at each other. As far as am aware the Human race has not geneticaly changed from there... not in any seriose way. Small and fenced cultural grouping tweaks to the gene pool don't really count as for the whole of mankind.)
I love words... But I can't spell.. The way Dr Johnson put as the standard... for I don't see words... I feel them and they pop into my mind as sounds...
Poetry is a spoken art...
Poetry though has some high standards in the past that made them quite a restrictive art. Tho those that could use all of the rules did it so well it took to the modern age as we know it for the rules to relax.
I always.. Read mine out loud.
I would love to put them to music.. But that is a co-operative process. The problem is... Am a cray lady. who is intensely private apart from sharing the art...
For that is what I have to communicate with.
With you all.. Other artists.... Keep doing what you do for art is worthwhile in it's own right.
