Josefina,
Good piece Josie, you see well...
R.E.B.

those sites and sounds and feelings
of
my own life
that touch me
move me
make me see something
small and yet significant
to be held up
to the light and examined time and again
as the jewel that it is

I'm with you Josie. In fact, just had this conversation last night with a cousin who thought something was wrong with her because she "didn't understand" a poem the same way as someone else did. Told her a poem is what it means to the poet, and the reader, but that they are not necessarily the same because we all see things through different experiences. If it's okay with you, I'll send this to her.

"Bravo", she yells, as she excitedly jiggles around on her computer chair, "this is an excellent discourse on the power of poetry! I love it, Josie!!"

and mostly what one gets out
is what one brings in
life experiences
I know this place
I have felt this before
as seen through and felt through
another�s words

Exquisite meaning here!!

I couldn't agree more, Josie.
A poet's duty is to the words, and to himself. If you write for others, you head down a slippery slope.
