The Poets Shoes
(Nowadays :)
To understand some poetry, or poets, one must have experienced what the poet hasidentical experiences; or you must be shaped like the poet, the exceptions are from the old school of poetryone shoe fits all (thus, understanding the theme, plot and insight of poetry becomes much easier); from the contemporary scene, you must have the same shoe size of the poet to understand where the poet is leading you, and in poetry the poet should have a destination for the readerlest he doesnt care (and he should).
The poet survives perhaps because he or she is oblivious (or not connected so much) to the world, and all its compulsions (suicide is often on the other side of this coin, if not drugs and alcohol).
Poetry has accomplished something if it causes one to mull over it; stretching this a little further, there is (it seems) coming a day (not so far off in the future), when poets will not even need to know a thing about literature (most dont today); yet poetry is (or should be) considered the highest form of literature.
Most poets write about love and deathwhich perhaps are the two main ingredients (or themes) to poetry; some write on social issues, which make for bad poetry; but it is Beauty that shines above everything, and that is often, too often over looked in place of self-interest, or a combination of negative delirious confusing thoughts put into Writing by a poet under the influence of some kind of chemical. One can get a high off the beauty that surrounds them.
Last words: we as poets should not forget, we influence people, young people in particular, and owe an obligation to (if not duty to), set a good example by the way we live and write.

Un Comentario sobre Poesa por: Dennis L. Siluk
Los Zapatos del Poeta
( Hoy en da:)
Para entender algo de poesa, o a los poetas, hay que haber experimentado lo que el poeta ha pasadoexperiencias idnticas; o haber sido formado como poeta, las excepciones son de la vieja escuela de poesade que un zapato encaja a todos (as, entendiendo el tema, el argumento y la perspicacia de poesa se hace mucho ms fcil). En la escena contempornea, debes tener el mismo nmero de zapato del poeta para entender dnde el poeta te conduce, y en la poesa el poeta debera tener una destinacin para el lectora no ser que l no se preocupe (pero l debera).
El poeta sobrevive quizs porque l o ella estn inconscientes (o no estn unidos tanto) al mundo, y a todas sus compulsiones (el suicidio est a menudo al otro lado de esta moneda, o las droga y el alcohol).
La poesa ha logrado algo si sta causa que uno reflexion e sobre sta; exagerando esto un poco dira que, habr (parece) un da que vendr (no muy lejos en el futuro), cuando los poetas no tendrn que conocer algo sobre literatura (la mayora no lo sabe hoy); aunque la poesa es (o debera ser) considerada la forma ms alta de literatura.
La mayora de los poetas escriben sobre amor y muerteque quizs son los dos ingredientes (o temas) principales en la poesa; algunos escriben sobre cuestiones sociales, lo que hace que la poesa no sea buena; pero es La Belleza la que brilla sobre todo, y a menudo, o muchas veces, es ignorada a cambio de intereses propios, o por una combinacin de pensamientos negativos delirantes confusos puestos en la escritura por un poeta bajo la influencia de una especie de sustancia qumica. Uno puede inspirarse en la belleza que a uno lo rodea.
Palabras Finales: nosotros como poetas no deberamos olvidar, que nosotros influenciamos en la gente, en los jvenes en particular, y tenemos una obligacin con ellos (o un deber con ellos), demos un buen ejemplo por la forma en que vivimos y escribimos.

A Commentary on Poetry by: Dennis L. Siluk
Substance of the Poem (Part II)
Some folks have saidsubstance in the poem does not matter? I question that (even though, seldom do we know poets who know the reason for their poetry. Often when they reread their own poetry, they have forgotten what reason he might have originally had (had he any at all)), no substance for recollections.
Curious speculation tells me, a poem has to have substance to survive!
Perhaps there is too much fumbling around by too many poetsusing modern verse (for an excuse) to escape a theme or insight for a poem.
In Writing a poem, like anything in life, one must have a p lan, destination (where do you want to take your reader?).
A poem perhaps is the secret life of the poet; his black twin, his detached selfthis is too often the case. Thus, the poet and poem become more of a riddle of despair than a work of art. You either sink or rise with the poet and his poem. That is, sink into dark perversion, or rise into a beautiful fire of emotion.
Healthy poetry is almost unseen, and becoming unnatural nowadays, but it will uplift you, make you re-read it, and the best critic in reading poetry is the readerand the best evaluator is the poet.

Sustancia del Poema (Parte II)
Algunas personas han dichoque la sustancia en el poema no importa ? Yo discuto esto (aun cuando, raras veces conocemos a poetas que saben la razn de su poesa. A menudo cuando ellos releen su propia poesa, han olvidado que razn pudieron tener al principio (si es que tuvieron algu na en absoluto)), ningn fundamento para recuerdos.
La especulacin curiosa me dice que, un poema tiene que tener sustancia para sobrevivir!
Quizs hay mucha hurga alrededor por muchos poetasusando verso moderno (como una excusa) para escapar de un tema o conocimiento de un poema.
Al escribir un poema, como todo en la vida, uno tiene que tener un plan, una destinacin (a dnde quieres llevar a tu lector?).
Un poema quizs es la vida secreta del poeta; su gemelo negro, su yo separadoesto es muy a menudo el caso. As, el poeta y el poema se vuelven ms un enigma de desesperacin que una obra de arte. T, te hundes o te elevas con el poeta y su poema. Es decir, te hundes en la perversin oscura, o te elevas en un fuego hermoso de emocin.
Casi no se ve poesa sana hoy en da, y se hace un poco anormal, pero esta te elevar, har que lo releas, y el mejor crtico en la lectura de poesa es el lectory el mejor evaluador es el poeta.
The Poets: harawi! (Part III)
We are a people of personality, appealing or not, it is who we are; we can be mystic, skeptical, a fugitive deeply in love, an isolated personwhom it beocmes painful to socialize with others. We express in tones of maculinity, or otherwise; there is something ancient, to this: a voice of forcebut seldom does it comfort....
There is a tone in the Andes (also)old poets often have used it in the past(harawi),a mystical inward compulsion, or complait. Call it folk-form, of the Andes (Vallejo knew it well); it is an echo for modern surrealism. Poetry in this form can make deperate things alive, like God pointing his finger; or Sastan whispering to Judas....
In Poetry, metaphore is matched by skill or talent, the poetthe poor man with his verse and voice sees through himself: the ruminates, the unimaginablethat is his harawi.
