The World as a Playground for Contemporary Love Poets

Perceiving the world as a play ground for contemporary love poets can raise the question of the seriousness of contemporary love poetry in any era. Is writing contemporary love poetry merely play in every era, including the present?

One might also ask the same question about war games. Are they mere play to humankind in a world of suffering humanity? A contemporary love poet can play in reference to them too.

One might also suggest that the work someone loves is often more like play than work to him or her. Thus, the literary world can also be regarded as a playground of the world for serious contemporary love poets in any era, including the present.

A source of inspiration for a contemporary love poet can be the actual world with its vast natural phenomena, happenstances and occurrences throughout the eras, as he or she learns how to playfully incorporate thoughts and feelings about them into his or her contemporary love poetry.

There are numerous other ways a contemporary love poet plays in terms of his or her writing projects. Playing with the word love itself, often brings home the reason why a contemporary love poet would write in any particular time or place. He or she writes contemporary love poetry because of his or her love of someone, something or the love of love itself.

The contemporary love poet may play with words and expressions referring to divine or human love in his or her spiritual realm, as well as the natural realm.

There is a vast potential for possible literary play as the contemporary poet explores the world of children, in terms of their reality or fantasy. Fantasy is a wonderful realm of discovery for any contemporary love poet who relates well to children and is able to play with them with words and expressions that are applicable to their world. Learning how to think and play like a child in a literary sense is an art too.

The political realm is another world where contemporary love poets play and often give expression to their thoughts and feelings, as well as those of others. These may become expressions of positive or negative play.

No one should ever under-estimate the importance of play to contemporary love poets, or to those who read or critique their literary work. It is often the literary play of critics that leads to exposure of various elements of truth, as well as untruth, sometimes that which has been hidden or disguised throughout different eras.

A contemporary love poet can often express the truth or untruth of his or her own era without risking exposure, condemnation or persecution from others, simply by playing with it.

The beauty of truth in the natural and spiritual world is a wonderful realm of play and exploration for contemporary love poets. It becomes a delightful world of its own to explore.

Truth is not always comprehended until it is given a natural metaphorical meaning or signification of some kind, often associated with the world as a playground and the play of contemporary love poets.
