Abstract Poetry

Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic language to evoke emotion, convey meaning, and explore ideas beyond the limits of ordinary speech.

Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic language to capture emotion, shape meaning, and illuminate human experience in its most concentrated form. Through imagery, metaphor, and carefully chosen sounds, poetry transforms ordinary words into expressions that resonate beyond their literal definitions. It does not simply tell a story or present an idea; it invites reflection, allowing readers to engage with feeling, memory, and imagination at the same time. By embracing ambiguity and depth, poetry creates space for personal interpretation and emotional connection. Its enduring power lies in its ability to say more with less, turning language into an art that speaks directly to the inner life of the reader. Learn more about your ad choices.

Peter Gunn Poet/Author Peter Gunn U.S. Air Force vet, avid bodybuilder, lead guitarist for a band called The Angellics, coffee connoisseur, and poet who strives to bring epic poetry and literature craftsmanship back from the past. -At 7 years old, I had succumbed to heat stroke and experienced a brief NDE where an angel told me I had to go back because my job wasn't done. Ever since then, it has steered my life’s journey in a way to serve and give back to humanity. -At 12 years old, I had to deal with morbid childhood obesity. -Honorably served 20 years in the US Air Force -When I had my daughter in 2010 I wanted to enroll her into my love of classic poetry but soon saw that the feminine was left out of the hero's journey and decided to start writing The Amazons series to alleviate that discrepancy and I also invented LLP Linked -Lyrical-Poetry to bring a more modern feel to the story that will make it easier for Gen Z, and Gen Alpha to read. -In 2020, when Covid hit, it woke me up to how so many people are asleep in the world, so that is when I decided to start the Sigma Squad Graphic novel series. Which is based on ancient Gnostic gospels and texts about God splitting his angels into two halves one male and one female to exist in human bodies as entities known as Aeons and during Revelations, God decides to send a specialized more powerful group of Aeons to wage war on the members of the Deep State by killing them off one by one. -July 2025 I was asked to join a group of musicians from Germany after working with them on other projects to form a band. We are going to call ourselves The Angellics, and we are currently in production of our first album. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices [https://megaphone.fm/adchoices]

Abstract Poetry in its second session, features Dewy as my guest.

Have you been craving something... aberrant?  Title Goes Here is a foolish adventure via a collection of curious stories and unusual styles. Through your journey, you will follow a fool's path to exile, hear from presidential candidate Sally McBride, and even learn how to be invisible.  First on your itinerary is a section of existential poetry that includes a sobering look at the true cost of watches and war. Next are five short stories that range from mildly funny to so abjectly bleak they warrant a trigger warning. Lastly, you are walked through original spells that provide an eclectic viewpoint of magical concepts such as summonings, immortality and the aforementioned invisibility in a surprisingly applicable and practical manner. Together, your expedition is one of disillusionment.  It is my hope that you will be a more foolish person after having read Title Goes Here. Learn more about your ad choices.

It uses carefully selected words to evoke emotions, capture moments, and provoke thought, transcending the mere act of communication to become an art that resonates with the depths of the human experience.

It serves not only as a mirror reflecting societal values and personal experiences but also as a window into the diverse cultures and historical periods from which it springs.

Abstract Poetry, now in its Second Season, features When Meaning Refuses to Be Explained, a contemplative exploration of poetry that resists clarity, closure, and easy interpretation.

This episode invites listeners into a space where language is felt rather than solved, and where emotion, rhythm, and silence carry as much weight as literal meaning. By embracing ambiguity and abstraction, the episode challenges the instinct to decode every line, encouraging instead a deeper, more personal engagement with poetic expression. When Meaning Refuses to Be Explained positions poetry not as a puzzle to be answered, but as an experience to be lived—affirming that some truths are best encountered through intuition, reflection, and resonance rather than explanation.
