Marquez said in "I'm not here to give a speech": "Poetry is a mysterious force in ordinary life. It can cook food, ignite love and make people fascinated."
When we understand these words, we also understand why some poets regard poetry as something like life.
Of course, the peak of a poet's creation is hard to reach. If he wants to write, he can write endlessly. The saddest thing for a poet is that he wants to write but can't write a poem. People will inevitably miss a lot of scenery in their lives, and poetry will never fail me. Think about how beautiful and happy this is.

The rapid development of modern society makes our hearts more and more rigid, and those subtle and meticulous feelings and memories are often shattered by haste and noise.
When we are busy, how much information is related to our own mind, emotion, spirit and ideological world? Often when you turn around, loneliness and loneliness come to your face.
Good poetry can help us to re-recognize some more essential, direct and intimate things in life and regain the aftertaste and memory of time and space.
Good poetry can make the numb senses full of vitality, make the stiff mind slowly return to softness and add fresh texture to life itself.

I have seen some remarks in books and periodicals, which probably means that new poetry occupies a higher position than prose poetry. I have no intention to distinguish or clarify anything, because I put new poetry and prose in the same position.
It doesn't mean that writing a long sentence can be called prose poetry. The most difficult thing about prose poetry is the continuation of the upper and lower sentences, which should pour down in a channel, and often some prose poets will be blocked and divided everywhere if they don't master the flow direction.
In fact, prose poetry, like new poetry, needs metaphor, imagination, conciseness and concentration, and it is even more surprising in language, but it cannot be obscure. It emphasizes the familiarity with elegance and elegance, and the fluency of timbre and rhythm is more natural.
Prose poetry is superior to new poetry, which can produce interesting and wonderful scenes. It can be mixed with various methods more widely, making its own writing unique.

It seems that poets can always find their own aesthetic and unforgettable feelings in the world, and turn these aesthetic and unforgettable feelings into an ultimate written expression.
For poets, poetry is always an eternal lyric that indicates or carries a long life, and life just needs this poetic sublimity.

A poem, to be a good poem, is to discover new things among all the "old things" and tell a "new secret" that has revealed the truth.
No text emphasizes uniqueness and originality more than poetry. A poet will not step into the same river twice more than a philosopher.
Poetry really seems to be not only acquired through exploration, but more like an alert discovery by looking around. Sensitivity to "new things" is valuable, but it depends on "new things" to a considerable extent, but how unreliable it is!
Only by gaining the ability to discover new things from "old things" can we achieve something and do something wrong. This is exactly what Mrs. Steyr said about Rousseau: "He didn't say anything new, but he set everything on fire."
Yes, poetry is to light the flame of old things.
