I’ve decided that poetry is best considered as a science. So, just as hydrogen and oxygen are bound together to create water, the force that binds them can be compared to poetry. Poetry is an invisible energy that exists between everything, holding it together, giving it meaning. The job of every human being is to search for the poetry hidden within the midst of things. So, this brings us to the role of poets in society. Some people write poetry, and some people live poetry. The person who lives poetry is the greater of the two.

My note: Are there other words besides “poetry” which would fit? What do you think? Judy D.
