Ezra in the Garden
My call to arms was sixteen pages prose
The Serious Artist
Breathing life into stillborn lungs
A servant by eternal debt
Not far from comparison
That of original sin

| I have never read the "Serious Artist" work by Ezra Pound, though I am perusing parts of it now. This metaphor of Lilies and Acorns in comparison to the Ulysses and Circe, it's very profound yet simple to the mind to grasp. I can see how this can be very life changing, and can change the way one writes poetry. I can also see the comparison to original sin, a bondage so great, given from generation to generation, unfathomable debt that one can never overcome. Powerful words. |

| Ahhh, I love that your poetry makes me FEEL something. (That sounds trite) but I'll explain. It's not too... direct. It strikes at some deeper chord than what's at the surface of intellect, "showing" and not telling too much, as the saying goes. I think poetry that let's you pick up on what's going yourself, or rather than "Teaching" enables some sort of self-discovery, is best. |

pound is inspirational...i agree
"In the slow float of differing light and deep,
No! there is nothing! In the whole and all,
Nothing that's quite your own.
Yet this is you." |
