The poets' life is one of touching the soft places and finding the connections to humanity.
Poetry is the science of thought. In reality it is a pulling togather of a sometime visual image. Other times poetry is a concept shaped in the mind that has life, a essence of its own.
The content of poetry is the words themselves. Content is the shaping that takes place as the words touch the page. Content can be looked at as the back bone of the piece.
Poetry that is good is also alive. It has a breathe of its own. It keeps its own steady pace as it carries the reader along. When comes across well poetry moves in our spirit. Often the same peom to stir the same emotion or feeling time after time. It touches the right note.
The focus area of poetry is to touch that place inside that can't be touch by hands. It sometimes stirs the peot to action to push past the pain of life to arrive at the place of peace. It is a essence a feeling know by to poet who continues to work.
The focus area is not were the money is though it can bring money. A wise old man once said that is not the point. A well live life is the best lagacy to have. The focus should remain on the craft; it will bring it own rewards.
When the focus is on the craft the soul sometimes feels like it has wings. The spirit of the poet at work will carry them to the mountain tops. This is a worthy focus to have.
A worthy focus is to come to the poetry daily and work. In short, the dedicated poet develops the eye that can captures the clearest pictures.
