Poetry is the muck. The application of unfettered depiction that flows and dives

And sneaks back up on you, with no concern for the rules and boundaries of facile form.

You can read it aloud

Let it slouch from your throat, and hear the difference.

Know it like sun knows the horizon at-red rimmed dusk, dipping and intimate. It is not the structured art.

To know poetry is to practice another incarnation, forgetting the rules, and letting your world come, and come, and roll and when you feel your training and education (domestication) bridle, don't

Stop

Keep going.

That's the difference. Cull yourself of others. Scrape off the ghosts of expectation like dead scales. Write it true and read it aloud, and listen to the melody.

Subtle. Gradually rising. Falling. Rising again into the wave which is power. The form imparts emotion, so break your form.

Scare your reader in quiet ways. And they will understand your mastery.
