seriously if poetry or creative arts never existed, we'd simply create them, it the that god thing. erase the god concept from everyone's mind and within a decade or less (because of the net) we'd have at least two or three , orld wide. there is no point to it because the creative arts are a big part of who and what we are. pondering the universe and walking through woods is what we do.
as fort why are you/ we in a poetry site? i'm here because i wanted to try my hand at creating a decent place for poets to exist. it doesn't matter if i succeeded or not it what i wanted to do. as it happens i spend more time not writing poetry as i used to but that's okay. what else would i do...a shitload of stuff. i love learning new stuff. i've dabbled in most things. 3d modelling, most kinds of design programs, i got to the stage where i could use them and became board. this place is much more of a challenge. my problem is, once i know i could (not did but could) master something i stop trying. i know i can never master poetry and so here i've been for a few years. I'm a grade a carpenter model maker, can build most things that hands can build, i've made jewellery, mainly from scrap gold, i was into gardening. i enjoyed them all but nothing holds me like poetry. so in answer to the question: there is no point. it isn't about the poetry as much as it's about the person. the person and their need to express, discover, take part in and create something new and different.
