like putty in your hands life begins the words come each precise and definite complimenting the whole or shock value to be mischievous such is the talent of the bard such is the world of words even made-up ones are allowed as you are building couplets from the heart much leeway is to be had constructing word jazz the words are your stage make 'em sing in free verse whatever your style you are its master not the other way build the words make yourself heard pray for 'em sweat 'em out shock 'em til they blush cherry red treat 'em with kindness shove a tongue down their throat give 'em what they like ride 'em hard just take charge to write a poem makes not a poet real my claim to fame I am not poet I just write poems a poet laureate I'll never be air too rarefied up there for moi wish I could glide the word though like some that I know glad I don't pen poems like some famous one I've read when it's all said and done it is you your words and what's inside ©September 11, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (10-04-2016 10:38 PM).] |

"when it's all said and done it is you your words and what's inside". What you have said in your poem speaks out loud for so many. I salute you! One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many. |

quote:I respect your humility on one hand Jerry and on the other say that you are, in my opinion, absolutely right. Few poets say that is what they are, as if it were a title. I consider it to be more as a term of recognition. I call you a 'poet' because indeed, you are skilled at "building words" and using them to relate. You are a poet. This I bestow upon you because I can, not because I'm a poet...I'm not. I'm a reader and I know a 'poet' when I read one. Besides, it's better than being a lot of other things, isn't it? A very good read Jerry. If you were the only poet here, it would be worth the trip. Loving Linny Jean is poetry. |

"A very good read Jerry. If you were the only poet here, it would be worth the trip." Awww, man, thank you so much . . . In reality if a person writes poetry, he/she is a poet. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
