That's Why We Love Poetry

Photo by Manoel Marinho

We are surrounded by everyone's wants, desires, and needs without yet understanding our own. All the time. This must somehow compound thirst and yearning with so few ways of release/ self control imposed by fear/ confusion/ not necessarily knowledge and understanding. The experience part comes much much later. Look how many things have to be untaught, readdressed, or learned anew. That's why we love poetry.
