PERSONALity | UniVERSE
Here are the musings of a professional poet playing on the words of her business name. Is there something to the addition of just a few letters that expand the meaning of a word, add an extra syllable to a rhythm, create a new and different rhyme or completely transform the meaning of a poem? Certainly. Personality is personal. Verse is part of Universe, yet these words expand far beyond their definition alone…
Is my personality expressed
through the rhythm and the rhyme?
Are the personal things addressed
in the poetic beating of time?
Am I merely playing with form?
A silly sort of game
Exploration beyond the norm
past identity with a name
Yet with every verse I make
and although it is very personal
which ever form the poem takes
the sentiment is universal
