POETRY IS

With Lola, poetry is written hopefully to touch your mind, your spirit, your heart and your soul.

If you want to inspire, write a poem.  Whenever you want to reach that someone in a special way, write.  If you want to tell a story, write.  No matter what life brings, there is a flow of words to poetry.  There is an emotion that sets the flow. 

Pick up a pen or go to the computer and start with one word.  After that word, think about what stands parallel?  What pulls it to the next?  What energy do you want your words to form and emit; anger, love, confusion, sensual, intellectual stimulation, hardcore, thought provoking, etc.  You are the author and creator of that emotion others will feel when they read your words.  

Let it flow from the inner most part of you.  Or, take that thing of vision and lay it as you mold and shape that energy into something visible.  Write a poem.  When you are finished, go back and tweak it, and if you like the way it is, leave it!  It is how it is. Or you can study various styles with which you may never understand.


Your poetry is what it is - for whoever feels and understands what you have to say.   Not all may understand but such is life and such is your poetry.  They are your meaningful works of art and they work for you.

Peace and Enjoy.  It is what you have to say.
