Poetry is all about expressing inner realities in such a way that other people can perceive it and most importantly perceive it at a very deep and profound level. This is how you can tell a great poet from a person who just knows how to rhyme certain words. Poetry is not about rhyming. It’s not about form. It’s all about substance.
Great poets are able to converse with deep and profound personal truths that resonate across the board. We’re talking about personal realities that transcend culture, language, religion, time, and space. This is some heavy stuff.
Now, you might be asking yourself, “I get all that and I know how profound awesome poetry is, so how does this relate to finding a sex date like I do? Well, actually it does because when you watch that type of action you can look at it primarily as a physical action and sadly this is how most guys perceive it. That it’s basically just a physical act.
If you are serious about taking your poetry to the next level, you can see that it’s actually a deep and profound intimate form of conversation, but instead of using words these people are using their bodies. By being able to witness this and cross-reference this with deeper emotional truths and realities, you’re able to trigger gateways to spiritual truths.
Once you reached that stage, you would be able to communicate on such a way that is truly transcendent. That, my friend, is the essence of great poetry. That’s why some poets are struggling. They can’t seem to get lift off. They can’t seem to tear away from the banal.
Real sublime poets are able to do this because they can see the interplay and the communication of deep and profound personal, internal, and external truths regardless of source. It seems like wherever they look they can see this interplay and they’re able to tap into it and express it in their work.
As the old saying goes, “Practice makes perfect,” so the more you see this in everything around you as far as your entertainment choices and personal activities are concerned, the higher the likelihood that you would reach that level.
