I am reading Rumi's poetry right now. I say reading for I can not truly hear the meaning. Unless of course I find the emptiness

Banks notes in his work he does three things: chooses to use the free form popular in American poetry, groups the poems into categories to represent poetry as a medium of mystical imagination, and gives Rumi's poems whimsical titles.Is There an American Tongue?The note about Amerivan free form poetry got me thinking. I have been discussing form and poetry with a friend Peter Molnar who said he couldn't realte as well to American free form poetry.At first I thought is it because there is no American tongue? No song to a history. Sure English is the Lingua Franca here, for a decade or two more, but sonnets, quatrains, and strict form.Can strict forms of poetry collect meaning while having language broken from history? America is a land of genocide, slavery, opportunity, and a fierce individualsm.The kinda folks who will say, \"Fuck your rules.\" when it comes to poetry.Banks says that Rumi writes, \"Love is the reality and poetry is the drum\"Free Form PoetryTake American, and by default all Western music, the modern guitar style descends from an Instrument, the banjo, from Africa. The 2/4 beat and second lines also stolen imports.Our drum beats not just to cultural appropriation but of a shared belief in opportunity no matter the odds.After Whitman and Dickinson American poetry took a turn from English and began a pattern of remix.Yes much of this reflects appropriation of Indigenoues and Black voices but margainlized communities also found power and opportuntity in drumming love. B. B. King famously noted how to hime the blues aren't sad. He saw nothing but dreams.Hughes and the Harlem Renaisance, Ezra Pound bringing in Chinenese form and ideals. T.S.
