What is Poetry?

by Mark Olynyk

poetry is like a fish
trying to break the surface
of the conscious.

poetry is the language
of the primitive
speaking in tongues.

a poetic philosophy
is a belief in illusion
and the power of poems.

he had a history of poetry
like an affliction
or a virtue.

a society for the preservation
of poetry will show
how history was made.

engaged in poetics
the science of truth.

a poem is a puzzle
without pieces.
