Promoetry



My writings are a little bit more than poems.
Not sonnets or odes.
Nor prose to define as that.
Perhaps a combination of the three.
With an added narrative.
Like a vignette as if a short story going on.
Leaving the reader to decide,
If what they are reading can be categorized.

Yes, it can.
I'm calling to label what I do 'Promoetry'.
Promoting the artform of poetry,
Back to its original intention.
A depiction that describes,
Something a journalist or a novelist...
Would seem forever to get to the point.

My approach in using my 'promoetry' vision,
Is to include other voices.
Inviting an alternative point of view.
As if to write a script.
To have my words staged and performed.
Although the format is poeticly written.
I want the reader to do their own staging.
Create their own setting.
I've already provided my imagination.
I offer the reader something new; different.
The using of their own thought process.

Okay?
I am holding your hand.
And we are both walking across the street.
Now...
If cars on that streets begin speeding.
Up and down; back and forth.
Then suddenly you realize I'm not there.
What are you going to do?

I want my interpretation of 'promoety',
To be an adventure.
Something unconventional.
Something without reason or rhyme.
Yet has rhythm and rhyme to eventually find,
There is a reason and purpose in these times...
A mind to stretch beyond confinding limits,
Can be a nourishing thing!
