I read some ‘good’ poetry the other day And you know, it didn’t make sense to me But it was published and recognized as written by some of the best poets As I stood in front of the lines of shelves Rows upon rows of colorful covers All sandwiching words Wonderful words which taunted my taste buds I savored the tapestry each thread of thought wove My lips moved as I read quietly And I still wondered if I could ever write In a manner that I could not understand What I wrote And if I ever do, I wondered Will I truly be a writer?

Like Dixie, I just write. It doesn't much matter to me if people understand it not--it used to be bother me, but not any more... as long as they FEEL something, even boredom, I'm happy.  Let the academics argue, I say. Much enjoyed, a. |

Nice poem. Metaphors are great when the writer is lost for words, and are having a hard time describing there feelings. Me personally I struggle with free verse when it comes to understanding what a poet is trying to say |

Ogden Nash is one of my favorite poets...I understand most of it but I wonder if he did. There are alot of double meanings and between the lines. So many ways to take so many things..... In other words I think that even if the poet doesn't understand at the time of writing it, it always means something sooner or later. I really like this.....was wondering myself...do you write books....if not you should...HUGS!!! ~~~kingsangel~~~ |

"Rows upon rows of colorful covers All sandwiching words" One does not have to be a gourmet to write and what you have served up here, that I have read, has pleased my pallet. Keep posting your sandwiches. *wink wink* (I obviously really liked your use of "sandwiching words") always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |
