On Poets & Empathy

4 Comments

A slice of life
Poets may carve with words…
Emerging from life experiences
Lived or observed.
Poets may offer fresh perspectives Embedded in words in a flow…

In Poets,  empathy makes you sense and relate with compassion, It makes you feel one with another.
Yet the poet is strategic as to be a  poem the verses need to be well thought as much as well felt, as words manage to touch another soul.

What are your thoughts on the above?

How can empathy connect with poetry?

    SMiLes Dear Savvy A Path of Free Verse Poetry
    And Free Dance A Way Out of A Life Imprisoned

    By All of What i Attempted
    to Materially Reduce
    And Control of Life

    Yes Engaged in a Kind

    of Mechanical Cognition in
    The Workplace too That As Even

    Science Shows Now Withers Away

    Our Social Empathic Intuitive Metaphorical
    Understanding Artistic and Spiritual Mind

    Of Emotions Much More
    Complex Than What
    Gets Frustrated

    When We ‘Think’
    We Have Lost Control
    of Materially Reducing the
    World Yes in Abstract Constructs
    Far Removed From the Essence Whole of

    Reality We May
    Get Trapped in

    Where the Form

    Becomes More
    Important And Narrowed
    Than the Essence of Reality
    And Existence Much Larger in Holistic View

    SMiLes my First Experiences of Free Verse Poetry
    Were Gifts of Metaphors Upon Waking A Siren Song

    Deep in MuSiC
    Of Soul In Ocean

    Whole Ways Surfacing
    to Awareness More Fully
    Than What Was Restricted
    And Materially Reduced As Forms Before

    For me it’s All About Letting Go ALLoWinG
    The MuSiC of SoUL Deep Within Finding

    Metaphors That Come to Home on Page

    After That For Whatever Muses me

    i May Adjust What Comes Free

    With the Mechanical

    Cognition of
    The Parts of me
    That Analyze and
    Materially Reduce the
    World For Order Out of
    Much Greater MaGiC of Chaos Set Free

    to Come to A Much Deeper Reason of Art

    To Explore and Perhaps change a bit When it Arrives

    With
    SMiLes…

    If i Could Empirically
    Reduce the Experience
    i Would Kill It Off and the
    Free Creativity Would Never Arrive…

    When Emotions Come Fully In Words
    Expressed Naturally We Become More
    Empathic With All We Experience Of Life

    SMiLes Truly
    Challenging to Express
    in Words Ironically Enough..:)
