Poetry should be read slowly. It can be shouted out in empty rooms, or in elevators, in the desert, on the mountains, or even in mindless crowds so loudly the sound soaks to the bone, but to be absorbed into the soul it should be read alone where awareness hides inside the quiet understanding of a single soul stepping at least briefly from humanity's surging tides. ©2004 by icebox |

"inside the quiet understanding of a single soul stepping at least briefly from humanity's surging tides." So very true, icebox, but I'm wondering whether the stepping in is as brief as we would like to think. |

Good poetry, like any fine art, must be studied, felt and listened to by the heart and soul, no doubt about it. Enjoyed this. |
