Calibna J. Kerr : part three

What do you feel poetry can accomplish that other forms can’t?

Poetry is very similar to musical expression, especially in the sense of alliterative and bouncy rhythms which I try to employ frequently within my own work, where the tone is one of elation or potentially, ominous. There is still place, for the melodic elements of the art of constructing a poem, and of course can be achieved through the euphonic word choices as well. I think poetry is often more about having your heart firmly placed upon your sleeve, but again it’s important that you obtain your intended response from a reader through being honest, but also leaving much to be desired from independent perspectives and interpretations. Every poem means something different to somebody else, and that is the beauty of it. That is what it is about. A poem might touch one person in a very different way to another.
