POETICS

I write as the music flows
from soul to heart and heart
to mind
I don't always sing in meter
and rhyme:
I am not in search of the sublime
for form may the truth hide
and all human traits falsify
then lose my words in a lie.

I can help!

for form may the true hide (wouldn't "truth" work better?).

W. H. Snow

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds. Percy Bysshe Shelley

It is called ""Nominalization

It is called ""Nominalization"" : making an adjective a noun ,such as "the Good""", }}The Bad""". I know it as a poetic device to produce a dramatic effect in ""breaking"" the language, '''truth"" has been overused, and the sound here lacks resonance

Cannot be overused. Let me take another look

Thanks, Wes'
