I can't pretend that I understand poetry. I'm rather uneducated in this respect. I have written little things myself, but I'm not sure if I would share them.
What I know is there's a kind of lyricism, a melody if you will, like listening to a piece of music for the first time. It either pulls me in, or it doesn't. I enjoy Dylan Thomas and Simon Armitage. I subscribe to an American poetry blog and receive poems weekly.
But I don't get them all. Especially the ones concerning current affairs.
But. This, your post, says a lot of how I feel about poetry. Not what I think.
There’s an ancient concept that poets might use the Lisan al-Ghaib as a metaphor for the power of words to inspire revolution or reveal suppressed histories. The voice of the hidden. ❤️🙏🏻✌🏻

I feel like I shared a swim in your pond.
Beautiful words
So wonderful to have another poet in my life. I believe poetry is the closest to the words of mystics when telepathy is not available.
Loved this exploration.
poetry, or writing itself, as a forgotten attic..... yes !!
Beautifully put and I agree. Thank you for putting what I feel into words.
Poetry can put words to the unthinkable. Beautifully written!
Excellent summation…poetic.🥀
Thank you
Thoroughly Impressed, I like your style.
Appreciate you
