A Poet's View

Imagery is not always metaphorical

But often the result of our selective senses

Seeking fact

Further filtered through the poet’s head

And heart

To an essence

That speaks in multiplicity

Whether intended

Or not.

Absolutely BANG.ON.

I can't think of anything other to say. You have managed to capture, in just a few lines, the absolute essence of it for me. Wow.

Sorry this is so late btw. There was a lot going on.

You write so eloquently. There's no confusion in your head.

Ooh, I like this Cynthia, and I so love that about poetry - that possibility of endless interpretations that the poet cannot predict or control x

Imagery and Essence. Is it filtered or distilled I wonder?
