true poetry must speak in spontaneous speech like unto the will of the fleeting wind it sings its own note and tune to teach the heart what is to be heard                                            it need not be expressed to hide mirth and misery to maintain the manner you learned by heart nor shall you lack of caution when using prosaic or archaic words in your verse a dead word is dead if it stands alone but lives if it is constantly used nor an archaic used in any attempts in prose or in poetry which may denote or connote a new meaning worth knowing never deprive yourself as to ignore the transient music in your inmost self and the personae that whispers freely into th’ ears of your imagination what you hear is the true poetry itself and however old it is always new have you n...

My poem translated in Italian and read in  Radio Vaticana , Italy. "E' una tragedia del nostro tempo che molte comunità siano in guerra tra loro", avverte papa Francesco appena giunto a Colombo, e osserva che "il processo di risanamento richiede di includere il perseguimento della verità... quale mezzo necessario per promuovere la loro guarigione, la giustizia e l'unità". Dall'unità fra i popoli all'unità fra diversi credo e diverse confessioni cristiane, in attesa della settimana di preghiera per l'unità, fino all'unità suggerita dal jazz di cui ci parla, a margine dell'avvio di una interessante rssegna romana, il pianista Alberico Di Meo. E poi il senso di unità del popolo filippino (oggi il papa  è a Manila) con la madre patria e con la propria identità culturale: la testimoniano i versi del poeta Santiago Villafania (nella foto).
