Statue of Zeus of Olympia (a poem video by me)

RE: Statue of Zeus of Olympia (a poem video by me)
Beautiful and amazing as always. True art. I wish I was poetic enough to describe how beautiful poems like this are and why. I just think poems like this are beautiful and you have a real voice for spoken poetry, it's almost musical. And you're amazing with symbols, imagery and stories.

I really enjoyed it. And I always enjoy re-listening and savoring poems I like. I'm listening more than once.

P.S. Radiohead is awesome.

Thank you, sweet jamón. Always so supportive of me. Heart

I liked it and you look marvelously beatnik (think it's the hat). But you kind of lost me with the radiohead reference. Seemed out of place.

But then what the hell do I know about poeting. Maybe I'm not as deep as I think I am.

Heh. It’s about a specific person and the song Creep reminds me of said person. Which is why I then say “...to make this Creep bow down to you...”.

It’s like an inside joke, but it’s not a joke, and the person doesn’t know the non-joke. Lol

Poetry is about semaphore, too many people think it is about metaphor.

I will say this, there is a myth that poetry has one structure or that it always rhymes. 

Poetry is like any other art, it is simply that which works. 

Just like Sushi isn't fish, but is a range of looks and styles just like soup can be simple like tomato, then you can also have others that are more complex.

In all seriousness, I belonged to a poetry group, it held monthly meetings. I listened to and read lots of other members poetry. The most popular poet in the group, a black guy named Sam, gave me the best advice, and it is why I still write today. "Be yourself".

Some artists wait until they think it is perfect. Me, I don't. I write in volume, and take a photographer's view. Don't worry about making mistakes, don't try to be like others, just keep writing. Some photos you'll look back at and think, "What was I thinking?" but do it long enough, you always end up with some that you know are great. Point is, never be afraid of failure. 

I wouldn't advise aspiring poets to think they will become the next Mia or Plath, but if you enjoy writing it, do it. It is your therapy regardless.

Great imagery.
You've really outdone yourself.
