poets, for the most part eventually develop a style all their own it is who they are a poet, at least a real poet seeks truthfulness in their words let them not abuse their style we write of lover's sighs or the latest politicians stupid remarks we pay truthfulness in the telling ad nausea of our trials and tribulation fortunes gained and lost we sit back stare out the window as we compose words about evil in the world or how wild we were when young our Muse keeps us busy giving us ideas but we must be able to write in our own special style selecting our words and phases carefully all of the above I stand by and if you want me to I'll put it in a song ©July 12, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

And I bet you'd come up with a mighty fine song at that! Blues or Zydeco?  Lori |

Some interesting concepts here. It's funny, I have never sat down and told myself I was gonna write anything in a specific manner... it's always been more of an impulse reaction to whatever my muse was singing for me. So there it is, if all I write is rhyming darkness, I blame it on the muse. Lol Truthfully, if a poet ain't true to his/her work, what can they expect others to draw fom it? Michael |

Thank you, suthern, by your comment I fear you are having a dry spell in terms of writing. It will come back. It always does. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
