Work In Progress.

Poetry ain’t constructed
out of blocks and bit’s of wood
it evolves from all those memories
or is it maybe that it should?

Is poetry not simple
just like our A, B, C’s
or is just random things?
Quite like a plate of peas

Poetry is for scholars
to tear and pull apart
or is it just for lovers
to cherish with their heart?

If poetry was constructed
Out of blocks and bits of wood
then this would be a tribute
to all poets that are good.

I liked this a lot!
VERY VERY well done. I thought that this was so well expressed. Nice job


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I ~really~ enjoyed this! I have written poetry on the concept of poetry before, this one is very good.
Can poetry really be defined? Is it all basically one thing? And if not, then what really is defined as poetry?
Great job. I'm adding this to my library.
And about the last stanza? Thanks for the tribute.

I loved this poem, very clever.

(NO, poetry is NOT for scholars to pick at and pull apart! That's killing it. For every poem you kill you should have to replace it with a new one! Sorry, just venting. Nothing to do with you)
