Actually I am. I am a poet and a lover of good poetry, and I believe the written word has fantastic power if used cleverly. Much of the "classic" poetry is honestly some of the most powerful stuff in the English language, and the ability to force emotions, create visions and communicate things that have never been experienced by the reader is an awesome power. There is communication, and then there's poetry.
I do my best to stay away from the mundane ("I saw a rat. It sat. On a mat. Splat.") and the annoyingly trite ("The rain comes down from the bleeding sky like the drops of blood that fall from my wrist. I am so alone. I sit in the dark corner wishing someone understood me").
If I felt cleverer I would have answered this in poem form but I'm feeling really unconscious today. I went to the beach and had a wonderful time by myself. I played with the sun and he was friendly for several hours, then bit me. I have a wicked burn on my back and it's making me cranky. I hope your week is being less painful than mine. ]
