Some people write poetry all the time, even for a living. For a gifted few, it's really their first language, as music is to my little friend Margaret, who was born warbling. Surely she will be a opera singer, and for her, use of the spoken word will always be to walk on two feet, like mortals, when she was born to fly. For some it is this way with poetry.

Most of us do not write poetry, read our last poem in college (or even high school), would never consider writing it, and feel a bit squeamish at the thought of it.

Everyone, however, writes poetry upon 2 occasions: falling in love and the death of a child. (But don't take my word for it, look on the Internet and you will see.) Love lost or unrequited is possibly in the running.

What's the connection? Well, the best and worst of times, and the element of agony. There's a sense of awe, which is where the word aw-ful comes from, because of the impact of the feelings. Because poetry (second only to music) deals with the uber-emotional experiences, we include it in our Emotional Intelligence program. "Poetry," someone wrote, "is emotions through a crack pipe."

That's a metaphor, the stuff of which good poetry is made, along with rhythm, though it need not rhyme. Bad poetry, doggerel, is made of bad metaphors, forced rhyme, and static rhythm * "I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree.." da da da da.

The best metaphors and analogies (metaphor is the comparison without the words "like" or "as" actual included, i.e., "Gianni is a veritable Pandora's box of woes.") combine two completely different things, or attributes, forcing us to feel what they have in common.

A few who read this may have direct experience of both crack and poetry, but most will fall in Group I, which has not experienced crack, or Group II, which has not experienced poetry. But those with only half the equation will still 'get' that a "big bang" experience is being described.

When I worked for the homeless shelter, one of the addicts told me, "You simply can't imagine how good it makes you feel*" and her voice trailed off and her eyes glazed over. She didn't have words ... Neither does the woman falling in love, or the mother who has lost her child. The one cannot describe how good it feels; the other, how bad.
