    Ink Spill

     Resentment pushes
    Forth frozen sentiments of earth;
    Releases light
    And growth and hatred and poison.
    My hand vomits obscenities,
    Paints precision
    And vision,
    Scrawls the pettiness of everyday,
    Sings brainchildren into the mundane,
    Slings spite into the un-hearing trespass
    And begins respite
    To my stifled self;
    Creates breath
    Where I had no capacity for air.
    Through my calloused hand
    My life spills into ink
    Across the paper
    Where I am created.

    You've got a real gift for artistic expression, and even though the subject is serious and the care you've taken in composing it is obvious, it has an airy, spontaneous feel. It's the true quill—excellent job!

    You are human this says but in a metaphoric way. It sounds better in a poem than to say "I blew it." Good job.

    Very nice. I am impressed! You have a talent for not only painting precision, but for painting beauty with your words.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
