The Shadow In The Light. Poetry Is An Incantation From The Depths Of Your Very Soul.”
― The Resurrection Waltz Poems R.M. Engelhardt
“From ancient lore to modern science poets are supposed to be the revelators, the prophets and the seers. Poets are supposed to shine the light in the dark corners where there is none or just a mere amount capable of hope through words . But? What if being a poet doesn't mean any of these things in the 21st century? Are we evolving or are we losing our focus ? In great testaments to the art of writing we make grand statements like " Poetry Matters" " Poetry Is Still Alive & Well" But unless we actually push forth these antiquated ideals and reboot them into the new we really are no longer something that humanity needs.
Reinvent these old ideals.
Write & create in the now.
Renew the waters of creation which we thrive in.
And for fucks sake.
Invoke Alexa if you have to !”
― R A W POEMS R.M. ENGELHARDT
