I write free verse -- that means when I compose a poem I
listen to the musical phrasing instead of the metronome, i.e., I’m in-tune
with my own voice of rhythms, which will be my measure for composing, and … (a love of mine) adding the richness of metaphor.
Poets down the ages thought the gift of metaphor the
most important. … The best words
in the right order and then the musical sound, the rhythm, but most important, the metaphor.
For me poetry is music in words, doors to step through,
canvases to paint, or compositions of an inner melody to listen to …
A poem can be a kind of conversation with itself, or the
narrator the observer, not speaking only from experience but from observations life
offers.
