HOW SOME POETS WRITE
HOW SOME POETS WRITE
Sometimes, we are amazed how one
can have effects when he writes verse.
Don't be surprised he's used his core
while others use pens to compose.
When the heart writes, it makes you sigh
as ink comes from the poet's eyes.
It is the tears that he's shed first
before he makes the readers cry.
What is the poem but the touch
he gets when he squeezes his heart.
He feels the torment which gives him
the jubilee of the great saints.
There are some people whose souls tend
to what's sublime in this vast life.
When they behold what is worthwhile,
they indite what from it they quaff.

Very dear Lozzamus,
You are a really gifted writer, and l really appreciate your artistic points of view when you look at other writers' productions, or when you write your own original writings, conerning yourself, because they create great effects on the readers. In addition to all that you are a courageous and extremely sincere writer whose writings affect him himself first before they affect or influence the readers.

At best, the touch I feel
just when my heart is squeezed
is not the special anniversaries
that sainted persons celebrate.
It’s what one feels
when undergoing a
a doctor’s care
reversing cardiac arrest
Providing I am conscious of the fact
it’s great excruciating pain
that makes me want to scream
not write.
And one more thing.
I know when poets work
to place their words upon a page
for men to read,
they do not do so with their abdomen.
And furthermore,
the only person who
evokes surprise at being able to
astound his readers with some verse
that is effectual and fit
and serves to bring
a reader into raptures
quite delirious,
is he who ordinarily
writes what he calls poetry
whose lines are incoherent,
grammar gaffed
and lacking sensibility
or any stab at sensuality
since they’re forever empty of
compelling metaphors
and vivid awe inspiring, mesmerizing similes,
and frequently bereft
of sound poetical technique
as well as literary and linguistic art
that if displayed within his writ,
might make a reader know
and feel
a vivid life experience.

Please help me here. I am not sure what you are asserting when you say:
"What is the poem but the touch
he gets when he squeezes his heart.
He feels the torment which [sic] gives him
the jubilee of the great saints."
Leaving aside the fact that the first line is deictic and that the second is grounded in the idea that a person gets a "touch" when he engages in the difficult action of pushing together the sides of his own heart, doesn't "jubilee" mean the observation of the 25th or 50th anniversary an important event. That's what Longman says it means (see https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/jubilee). And if so, how does feeling torment give anyone the celebration of a special anniversary of an event, let alone an event within the lives of noted saints?
Did you mean "jubilation", i.e., "a feeling of great happiness and triumph"? If so, the idea that this is something one gets from feeling self-induced torment is very strange, if not nonsensical. What evidence do you have that it actually occurs?

Looking over this again, I see that it really is NOT about how some (astounding) poets write. It's about WHY they write, what they use to do so (their core?), and what the circumstances are that prompt them to do so.
So you've once again provided us with a piece the title of which has little to do with the subject of the text that follows it.
