Metapoetry #2 - The What


Just click on the image to read the poems.


What are poems?

They are usually a collection of words, but not necessarily. Artists have found other ways to build poems with sounds and other sensory stimuli too. Think of experiencing poetry of fragrance. Walking though a barn yard, for example. Or a lumber yard. Whatever a poem actually is, it is something that sets our mind, or our heart, or our nerves into movement, that is, if the poem is of interest. If it isn't, well, then that's not the poem for you. For example, a hair salon does nothing for my olfactory poetry receptors.

These three poems have addressed some characteristics that can define a poem.
