. Poetry is the spark of desire the soul ignites to make all things possible in our mind when everything else tells us it is impossible. Poetry can make kings of commoners and conquerors of cowards. It can release the venom of old wounds or shed light on a dark mood. Poetry is a fact that happens in each and every one of our life's, but many either refuse to see or don't understand. Because of this many a soul stands alone feeling disjointed or out of step in life, looking for reason and much needed understanding. . WHAT MAKES A GOOD POEM GOOD . I think all poetry is good. If a poem touches someone, anyone, even if it is only the person who wrote it, that makes it good. Anyone who feels they have something to say, anyone who has an understanding they want to express or anyone who just wants to tell how they feel, is a poet. Poetry is not meant to move the heart and soul of all who read it, it is only meant to bring together like-minded souls. As to a poems meaning I would rather that be interpreted by the reader, to his or her own understandings. There are some who want poetry to be more, to have more meaning, more reason, more wisdom. To them I say look within yourself, for it is a sign of personal growth so let it reflect within your poetry. But remember that not everyone sees life from the same point of view, the same experience or the same station in life. Also anyone who tells someone they are not a good poet or even a poet at all, only shows their inability to understand and prove themselves to be not worth listening to, so don't and just keep writing your poetry. .................................................................................................................... |

Picture Bear Spirit by Leif Jones 
I am a dreamer who fears not the light, for I dream by day as well as night. While I cast a mighty shadow I have been told I stand twice as tall. My heart and soul are the measure of my dreams and my face cause for others nightmares. I try to be the rock of reason in the tide of storms, by offering understanding when others only offer hateful angry words. Void of emotions I need not let them get in my way, so I am able to stand on the outside and look within. I am a climber in search of mental mountains, seeker of lost souls and finder of fellow poets and daring dreamers.
