Why I Write Poetry

Why I Write Poetry

I write poetry because I love all the components of language: the sound of it; the meaning of it; and its appearance to a reader.

And what I consider to be poetry is the most effective use of these components: the sound of it; the meaning of it; and the look of it on the page.

It is a challenge and a pleasure to try to use all these components to express most effectively something I’ve decided to write.
