Know-it Poet Since a child, I always wanted to be a poet And I thought the lines always had to rhyme I saw the poems of the greats who know it And was surprised to hear the end of the line It didn’t fit I felt. How can it be called poetry Their words instilled images often quite bizarre They arrange the words spaced by telemetry Sometimes jumping down lines like these are I tried to mimic the look and ignore the word’s end Depicted brazen visions nobody else thought to say When I read it afterwards it was hard to comprehend The poem I wrote remains ugly to me to this very day I went back to my own style where it felt so good Plain block stanzas which appeared boring to some Each has a way to convey a meaning understood I only hope for my words to be enjoyed by everyone |

Style is personal and we each write best when we stick to our own. It is then(When we write in truth)we touch others. Loved the read. sharyn |

I think we've all tried to imatate the great at some time or another but its never quite right. its best to stick with what works for you. lovely poem. "Death cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a while" The Princess Bride |
