what do you want to be?

I want to be a proselytizer for poetry. Poetry meaning intensity of expression, meaning rhythm, beauty, creation. I do not mean to say that everyone should WRITE poems, but everyone should LIVE poetry. Live through expression, a pulsing feeling constantly reeling through the brain, moving us. What is the world without splendor and conveying it?

I am confused by the caustic reaction the word POETRY receives. Why?

We need a redefinition.
