Expressing an Emotion - The Art of Writing Poetry
Writing poetry is an art, a way of expression, finding meaning in few words. A melody of passion flowing out onto the pages, words that flow into each other and yet express the inner most thoughts and feelings of those who read the words. Writing poetry is a gift, a wonderful gift, being able to illuminate words so that they form a picture, express a feeling and share a thought in so few words. Unlike telling a story or writing a novel that explains every intricate detail a poem leaves you to draw your own conclusion. Writing poetry can be a healing process, putting down on paper all the emotions locked up inside ones head, a way of remembering and a way of re-living. Poetry has many forms from free verse to sonnet but all poems tell a story, a story of words, words wrapped around each other in such away that they flow together, locked in meaning. The poem below is titled “Playing” and every time I read this poem I cannot help but smile, as too will any mother reading this poem. See if you smile.

Kafka Re-Trial
Kafka lands resurrected in Crewe
deposited by a silvery alien craft,
And whilst he is wondering what to do
He is asked to show his pass
Or pay an instant one off fine
At a cash dispenser of his choice
And they are checking all the time
On his irises face and voice.
...Government big brother attitude to those who elected them...

Blind Designs [a Poem] and a Note by Rosa on "The Other Door"
The new poem has good insight I do believe, but to be frank, his first book, "The Other Door," is a classic, and I doubt he will ever, or few books will ever, outdue that book in poetry. But that is not only my feelings, but many others. His most recent poem on "Wars, air of Ambiguity" which says more in a few lines, than a whole book does, in 300-pages, and of course is a great poem, will also [most likely] be put into a future book, and looked upon as classic-present, and future.
