Poetry philosophy experience

I've been experimenting with the true nature of poetry. Sylvia Plath said something fascinating about how she believed in certain types of construction and tension with music while experimenting with sound whereas some poetry is just bad prose. And so I wondered whether poetry is the nature of a groove and if masculine common sense could find a poetic groove with a natural energy to it. When I looked at Sylvia's poetry in a still life when the water was high but the energy was still and it was energetic shock and coldness and so I've been looking for a groove of pleasant masculine strength with the hypothesis if a problem is solved then pain goes away. In my own experiment with my own love life I had broken up with my then female partner and I was completely heartbroken and then we reconciled our love and that pain went away. And there were other problems but we landed back in the normal world and became sane and I got to own my own poetic voice and choose my own groove. Intimacy is also key to good poetry too in a manner that's both private in that only the other person would know what it meant while appearing broad so that privacy to some degree is maintained. The reason to me why that's important is that the playfulness and cleverness makes the reading pleasant and communicative. A man once said that one can be by one's self with one's honor but he was wrong. Honor is about one's moral integrity but also how that integrity related to relationships and honoring ones commitments. And so often integrity and honor are confused as being the same and they're not. Poetry can at its best cut through the crap and reconcile honor with integrity.
