Hola! This poem is part of my Ars Poetica – BlogchatterA2Z 2025 series, where I explore the art of poetry through 26 stanzas, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. Every day, a new stanza unfolds, building upon the previous ones intuitively and organically. If you’re just joining in, feel free to read from the beginning or simply dive into today’s reflection on poetry.
Stanza 24 of the Ars Poetica—X-Factor
X marks the unknown—a poem’s pulse, its spark, its spell.
Like the first packed dabba at dawn,
it holds mysteries folded into each layer.
a taste I don’t yet know but trust will nourish.
Some poems shimmer, half-revealed;
some hide, asking me to search for their flavor—
an alchemy I never fully understand,
only recognize by the way it quickens the heart.
