Placing Emphasis When Reading Poetry Poem by Terence George Craddock

reciting passages of poetry
stressing meanings inside mind
not poems thoughts themes voice
not rhythms insights stritching verses...

magic mega poet beast makes sum
greater than parts in concept magic
fantastic interesting exciting intriguing?
poems need not be limitation any of these...

analyzed not inspires without reason
touches without dissection understanding
total recall impact hits like past lives
suddenly life personal slices part intuition...

captures caught soul true blue poetry lovers
drifting through cast net inspiring thoughts
like Charleston alluvial gold rush catalytic
driven to allure glitter gold prospect pan lines...

not gold to swirl sift in pores
gold dust in flats mined in dirt hills
panned rivers beneath boulders
water pouring powering tread mills...

to cut timber logs for sluice lines
feelings true poet cannot deny hide
from only realized in fresh writers
panning true colour driven command...

to write enticing passion lit
candle flickering seducing lit
lines in crisp China moon flight
read by fans who search our sight...
