A Poem On A Picture

Some hard-line realists easily dismiss poetry as emotional blather and lies. They would say it’s a form of distorting or masking the truth. They may even unconsciously resort to poetry while denying it’s value. It’s their loss in any case – a self imposed loss of subtlety in exchange for absolute certainty.
I understand inflexible positions where logic comes first and foremost. I suppose everyone has a little bit of Commander Spock inside. Unfortunately, realists are too unreal, too certain, and too, too right.
A poem, using metaphor, allegory, or rhyme, can simplify things, ideas, or emotions that are too complicated or long winded otherwise.
Logic, in a way, is a unique form of poetry or thought that points to itself. It simplifies complex ideas using precise symbols and equations.
Logic or reason finds itself to be a part of everything we do as conscious humans for better or worse.
It’s the unavoidable result of thinking and thought itself.
Poetry is also another form of thought using a neo-logic.
A logic that’s self aware – pointing to itself, anywhere, everywhere, or nowhere.
The link below is to a poem and a fine one at that. I found it last night while blog surfing. It’s a gift from Ken Woolcock, poet and fellow traveler.

Pitch
Marketing turns on reason, imagination, and the subliminal,
creating a spontaneous reflex to come closer or to retreat.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to express yourself.
Anything you say can and will be.
You have the right to proceed alone.
Should you decide not to proceed alone,
You may appoint your mentor.
One sooner than later the better.
“If you learn from the best, you can become the best.”

Hi Steve,
A simple but thought invoking poem, lovely picture (I’ve just spent the weekend in Scotland so really appreciate it), and great philosophy.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy. I’m glad you liked my poem and picture. I’d love to visit Scotland one day. I use Google Earth to do all my traveling for the time being.

Thanks Barry, I appreciate that. I must say, it’s fun to stray from the usual marketing posts occasionally.

Hi Steven, I enjoyed the poem, and the picture is superb!
Take Care, Ray.
Thank you Ray, it’s the first poem I’ve ever published or at least self-published anyway. I searched for wheat field photos on google and stopped when I found the rainbow in the sun over the wheat field.
