The Joys of Living a Poetic Life

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.

Poinsettia


A perfect poinsettia twig grows, 
three years old twig, and well;
a perfect poinsettia leaf holds well 
out its leaf like a sheaf 
of softly velvet cheek;
she stands aloft shivering with 
the vibrations of the keyboard's gyration.


An accident has happened to this tiny poinsettia that wants to live so badly, right after it was repotted into a lush and fertile new soil environment. You see where I have bound it up with green thread at the nearly-complete break? It does have lots of new shoots coming at the base, so it will live. Now, let's cheer on the original stem!
A few weeks later...
