God Is

What is poetry?
Is it merely alliteration, imagery, rhyme, rhythm, sound, stanzas, tone, and meter?
Or is it something shimmering between reality and realization? Is it the charismatic sister of prose encapsulating enchantment bringing substance to that which is known intuitively?
Touching on politics, philosophy, religion, sociology, economics, and whimsey, the offerings in this book are meant to entertain, enlighten, and amuse.
Hebrew poetry as bequeathed to us in Psalms is fundamentally different from the rhyming symmetry of meter, syntax, and structure the western world has traditionally called poetry.
It was based more on the coupling of often asymmetrical thoughts and/or juxtaposed ideas. It was solely centered on God and humanity’s life in a world created and defined by God. The works in this book and generally through much of my poetry follows the Hebrew model at least as much as it adheres to the traditional western pattern.
