Poetry

I've always been interested in poetry. I've been writing bits and pieces for years. Most of it I have thrown away or even burned. I've written a few poems and various lines of thoughts. I do it for me really. I don't really feel comfortable showing people - which actually doesn't make sense. I spoke to a real bona fide poet once and asked him "so how do you write a poem?" He answered perfectly. He said that he begins with an idea, and he works at crafting the idea with words so that they convey that idea immaculatey to the reader/listener. Perfect. Really, a poem is a high level and refined communication, which ideally should have in the recipient the exact same idea and emotion as the originator had when writing. That is what communication is really - cause, distance, effect - with the same idea duplicated from the originator of the communication to the recipient. I think I've just convinced myself to add some stuff here. I've already added the Goldfrapp one. I had to really. She is fantastic.
