Poet Archetype

December 8, 2013 — expression, poet, poetry

The poet archetype is insightful and artistic.  Symbolic language captures the spirit of a person, place or time to place it in the timeline of history.  Painters paint and dancers dance to express wonder.  Joy, sorrow, and the deepest amazement can be brought to the surface through art.  The audience, the reader, or the viewer  is symbolically imprinted by the artists’ insight and ability.  Poetic styles change with language as it evolves over time. Essence is the poet’s product.  Language is capable of painting subtle watercolors, and leaving haunting images with the reader. Poetic language does not always need to appear in published poems.  Poetry and motion have similar qualities.  There is style, strength, and expression in everything we do.  If we were to become conscious of a story that is ours to tell, and begin to tell it, we will be poetic.
