1 Poetry is a projection across silence of cadences arranged
to break that silence with definite intentions of echoes, syllables, wave
lengths.
2 Poetry is the journal of a sea animal living on land, wanting to fly
the air.
3 Poetry is a series of explanations of life, fading off
into horizons
too swift for eXplanations.
4 Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers
of the unknown
and the unknowable.
5 Poetry is a theorem of a yellow-silk handkerchief knotted
with riddles, sealed in a balloon tied to the tail of a kite flying in a white
wind against a blue sky in spring.
6 Poetry is the silence and speech between a wet struggling root of a
flower and a sunlit blossom of that flower.
7 Poetry is the harnessing of the paradox of earth cradling life and
then entombing it.
8 Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why
they go away.
9 Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.
10 Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving
those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment.
