Is poetry invention? Im'e calling invention the process of experimentation
after study. Poetry has been around awhile. Ed. Spencer showed us how,
Shakespeare showed us why, Melville showed us exploration and thought,
and the patience that Dickinson showed us is the exact same patience that
Plath told us not to believe in. The only thing left to invent is imagery and
distraction.
You have posed a deeper meaning in this enigmatic write, once again feeding our minds with food for thought. However, your words descrbe that of external distractions of which we have some control over, I wonder what would remain from our internal distractions of which we can not control.
The Poet and the dreamer are distinct,
Diverse, sheer opposite, antipodes.
The one pours out a balm upon the world,
The other vexes it.
"Fall of Hyperion - a Dream" - Keats
