Arjan's Statement of Poetry

I search for
beauty in the mundane,
extraordinary beauty in
ordinary objects,
love in all.

I will not
assume you see what I
see, have read what I have read, have lived
what I have lived. You add
to my world.

We do share
many things, but also
bring our own perceptions, own stories
to the game, creating
new canons.

It's us three:
poet, poem, reader.
Together we will create meaning,
build understanding and
make beauty.

Together,
that's the key. Together
we will bring kindness, beauty and more
understanding. We'll bring
empathy.
