I saw your picture of the river walk and said...Yes. I saw your picture of the river walk and said to myself, what?! I was just there! Anyway, you will like Divided, and if you get the opportunity to see it, you will also enjoy Runner from Ravenshead.<br /><br />Excellent question. I suppose the best way to answer that would be to define what a poem is. Then I can just say that a poet is one who writes poems. I'll need to address that in the SPF founding document.<br /><br />I've always considered a poem to be roughly anything which uses some literary device to add beauty to the formation of words in a way which takes them beyond normal speech patterns (prose). Examples would include rhyme, thought rhyme, rhythm, and some forms of minimalism. I would hesitate to call free verse, absent of some other device, good poetry. <br /><br />I would also question whether a God-focused poem can be written that has no value of edification in it for his children. There is a lot of humanism in poetry which needs to be flushed out. On the other hand, a lot of Christian poetry suffers from a massive amount of cliche.Ezrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689287030181080587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35307757.post-67879471826675745752010-11-28T09:26:19.270-08:002010-11-28T09:26:19.270-08:00I am so disappointed I didn't know you were in...I am so disappointed I didn't know you were in San Antonio for the Film Festival until we were already in Dallas. We overlapped for a day. <br />I'm excited to see all of those movies, but most excited (in the odd sort of way one CAN be excited about a film like that!) for Divided. We have two copies sitting on our shelf but are waiting to have another family over to watch it with them. <br /><br />The Sojourner's Poet Fellowship sounds like a wonderful idea... What's your definition of a poet, though?Kyleighhttp://www.drumofadifferentbeat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
