Analysis of The Art Of Poetry



A sharing of reality from within
And without a  poet’s being,
Resulting in traditional, modern,
Post- modern, avante-garde
Or prose formation…

Perhaps, in the future,
It will be experienced
Without words? For
As defined the art
Is more than words alone,
Or their rhythm, or their rime…

D.H. Lawrence described poetry
As: “Life springing itself into utterance
From its very wellhead”. Another poet
Coleridge referred to it as “the infinite I
AM reverberating in the Imagination”. And
A French writer, Bremond, suggested that
Poets conceive the germ of a poem in
A mystical state of consciousness.
