these are accidental views






While on the move, there sometimes occurs a
kind enrichment into moments of spare time
so as to keep us looking where there was nothing in particular,
until now.

But our eyes hardly see what a camera sees;
photographs portray what we have done, where we have been, who we are, in time, in space.
This is what we 've got:
in fact
a mere reflection,
a picture somewhat inherently accidental,
I think.

Is poetry written to be read? That seemingly no-brainer of a question was roiling my half-sleep

I think that good poetry is written to be read out loud. It is the very essence of rhythm.
Could music be heard without being played? Doesn't music make sense, have meaning, communicate ideas and feelings, as well?

Ritva, nice to see you again. I wish you enjoy your journey.

Ninni, I want to thank you for all the comments you left for me. I appreciate that you move easily from subject to subject, expressing in your own way opinions, thoughts and emotions.

This is basic to poetry, I find it hard to believe you don't read it. Perhaps you haven't discovered the poets you are to love.

About listening in one's country, maybe that's true for the spoken language. Poetry makes you hear. And you hear a new and richer language.

I am not such a good reader actually, in the narrow sense of the word, I make my own translations into private conversation with myself. I am thankful that poetry enhances such a freedom in a language that - compared to the languages of art and music - involve more directly my communicative skills.

poetry is some sweet and bitter fruit for the mind; it forms the way the eyes see
