 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're 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's you your words and what's inside ~ Don't insult the alligator till after you cross the river. ~ |
