Poetry.

What is poetry?

Poetry is the edited spontaneity that the poet digs inside themselves (without realizing it) to discover. The words go through stages of doubt and questioning in the subconscious mind before bubbling suddenly to the surface. You need not interpret these words in any particular form . . . poetry is not universal . . . but let those words take on their own rhythm and form as their predetermined backbone. Perhaps certain words were meant to go together, but you may do with them anything you like in order to portray your ideas. Poetry has a musical aspect to it . . . take that in a strong chokehold and let it command your poetry in ways only your subconscious can tell you. Tap into that subconscious . . . let it write for you. There are so many "movements" that have been conducted with poetry throughout its existence. Know them in order that your mind has a base of knowledge to ignore and/or play with to its satisfaction.
