Poetry is a threat if there are things in your system that are very hard to face because poetry is about being open and being spiritually, mentally, and emotionally well. A poetic life may mean sacrificing material overabundance, otherwise known as clutter, but you always sacrifice something, and to us, it's worth it.
Poetry is about consciousness and the pleasures of art. Other art forms can provide a bridge to your poetic self, if there are obstacles that need to be overcome. Yoga reestablishes and retrains breathing when parts of your natural self have been suppressed by a civilization that does not find those parts supportive of its values.

Worm and Crow
Today, I am a section of a worm,
and a crow is croaking out
a little sandpaper scratch into
the fluid mist of my day,
a little fingernail attention
from a more alert dimension,
whatever it is she's trying to say...
