NOT pretty-sounding fluff to skim over in greeting cards.
NOT pretentious intellectuals saying clever things about irrelevancies.
NOT drama queens in black clothes telling everyone how hard it is to be young and priveleged.
Poetry IS the red blood pulsing from the raw wounds of the soul.
Poetry IS when I take dangerous ideas, sharpen them to points, and hurl them at your head and heart.
Poetry IS the plain-spoken truth as we feel it, shouted from our pain and triumph and dancing and mourning, and
Poetry is REAL.
