What an absolute delight it is to be a part of the 2015 Poetry Posse<\/a> and its collaborative effort to create the monthly editions of The Year of The Poet II<\/a> published by Inner Child Press.\u00a0\u00a0 To be an artist is one thing, but it is a special life experience to participate in the emergence of the poetic word with other fellow artists.<\/p>\n

Did I just call a poet an artist? \u00a0I did !\u00a0 The word imagery constructed by the artist the poet to bring forth poetry is the ultimate art form in my opinion.\u00a0 As I make reference to my use of poetry in the Preface of my second book in the series Nature \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0IQ: Let\u2019s \u00a0Survive, Not Die\u00a0 !<\/a> (book now in the process of being written).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe late David Bohm on page 63 of his book Wholeness and the Implicate Order referred to poetry \u2018as an art form<\/em>\u2019\u00a0 having a primary function \u2018to give rise to a new perception, and to action that is implicit in this perception, rather than to communicate reflective knowledge of how everything is\u2019.<\/em> \u201c \u00a0As I say further in the Preface, \u2018I hope my poetic style of words have that same type of effect, to inspire the creation of novel and timely ideas through a process of intelligent perception in others<\/em>\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

How fitting to illustrate and celebrate such a powerfully influential art form as poetry, then the April edition of The Year of The Poet II<\/a>.\u00a0 This month\u2019s theme is specifically about the art form known as poetry and how the word imagery used to construct it finds revelation through the symbolic metaphor embedded within the social notion of rebirth\/new birth long associated with the spring season.\u00a0 \u00a0The art form poetry creatively used by the artist the poet, can initiate a positive effect on others, \u201cto inspire in them the creation of novel and timely ideas through a process of intelligent perception<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 This eureka type moment emergent from the word imagery of the artist the poet can create the season \u00a0of change associated with spring within the thought process of others.\u00a0 \u00a0It can give rise to the rebirth of an old way of looking at things by initiating a new birth or a fresh outlook as to the way something is perceived in society.<\/p>\n

How much more powerful is the art form of poetry to initiate change then when it is brought forth as one united although deliciously diversified voice, a collective of fellow artists called the 2015 Poetry Posse? \u00a0The objective behind putting together this posse as stated by its founders \u201cis to bring the Poetry Community together with the various Cross Demographic representations found in Gender, Religion, Geography, Culture and Ethnicity<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 I joined the posse in 2015 because I am a true believer in the power of this objective and truly believe this collective force of fellow artists through the art form of poetry can exemplify and initiate positive change that will be beneficial overall for all THE HUMAN RACE.<\/p>\n

I have intelligently progressed as a human being and artist to believe the following without wavier, \u201cThe true act of creating art, is for it to be used for the everlasting benefit of all humanity<\/a><\/em>\u201d by using art to create change. \u00a0Where does that start?\u00a0 Right here on these pages filled with words of imagery by artists who are willing to share with and support other artists. \u00a0As artists, side by side, they see the wisdom in working as one to get each other\u2019s unique vision and voice channeled through the creative process out to the world.<\/p>\n

It is my honor to present to you the poetic words of my fellow artists the 2015 Poetry Posse within the April edition of The Year of The Poet II published by Inner Child Press.<\/p>\n

Words of Potential<\/p>\n

words having potential
\nseemingly,
\nmanifest this spirit
\none that tries to stimulate
\nsome new perception
\ndoing so to invoke an action
\nbeing of the creative kind
\nnot to just convey
\nthe way things appear<\/p>\n

however,
\nalso to spark
\nwithin those
\nwho may listen
\nfresh notions
\nborn from self-origin<\/p>\n

peace out<\/p>\n
