As I Stand Staring

I don't want to make superficial Poetry.

 Especially,

if the 

illusions, 

idioms, 

and similes

don't capture or express my life experiences. 

 Poetry is a platform. 

A means to an end;

like

a wood chopper uses an axe to chop down a tree, 

I aim 

to use my Poetry

to create. 

To articulate and express 

poignant ideas, 

visions, and sentiments.

...  

I seek and work toward expressing a deeper human consciousness,

even if the representation is simple and crude.
... 

The goal is to capture and express life better than other art forms can. 

...
The end is the product, 

the means is the time, 

effort, 

emotion, 

vocalization, 

will and wit.
