I have to take the road that Bruce Lee took towards the Martial Arts, as an analogy “Like water”. I take the Literature Arts of Poetry, and Stories. In the beginning I used free verse, swift rhyming, lyrical, metal-rap-groove verse with definition and aggression. Now, I try different systems, in all genres, as always, and put them to my personal use. Furthermore, put to use what is useful when needed, and reject what I don’t need at the time for a specific write. Using no specific way, is the way, I am the way I write, but keeping in mind, the tools at hand. No limitations as the limitation. With all poetry styles (trapping, and grabbing)- (mind locks-heart locks-spiritual locks-) Honestly expressing oneself is difficult to do. The Poet, the creating individual is always more important than any style or system. Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless, and add to what is your own. Cut the ropes to a sinking item. I write my own interpretation of poetry. Concepts behind concepts. Dedicating to creating creative new-original thoughts, and poetry. I write with one hand, but if I could write with the other, at the same time, a different poem, that would be to break boundaries. As asking multi-tasking: Poetry styles separate poets. Style is a continuous growth. Poetry skills/tools are weapons and you have to use all of them, to incorporate all styles. (Move all parts of your poetry) Put everything into it, all energy. Rest then progress. A true poet is constantly growing, and when he or she are bound by a set of styles, or a way of doing things, that’s when he, or she stops growing. To reach a reader you have to move to them, advance, and retreat- advance retreat, furthermore slide and step back, push, and push back, circle them (put the reader on defense), and close them in, and hit them with the best closure. Poetry is like water, flexible, it has to go somewhere…
