In celebration of reaching my 16,000th post, I thought I'd do something different. Instead of reposting some of my work, I've linked several poems to lines (title of the poem) within this verse. Now remember, I had to use the title of the poem in THIS poem so if it feels 'jerky' you'll know why.  Writing poetry is just a question of freedom For the person I want to be I read the quality in your passion’s pen And wish it was written was me I long to find the right way For my visions to extol But it only seems to happen In the nighttime of my soul When I first joined Passions as A retiring sort of poet I was the woman in the corner Shyly, posting, I really showed it In darkness I brood About poems lost to time Words never written down A rhyme without a rhyme Encouraged, I learned to take a step Outside my normal place Prose became my second home Still no one recognized my face Can you guess how many times I winced to see my name Attached to some worthless poem I knew my poet’s shame I seldom think of the death of a poet For their words will ever live They hide where the fireflys never fly Their lights ever continue to give But my verses are a different thing I wrote about the Zit and the pop tart war So shrivel up this M & M Heart I’m ashamed to write anymore I cried when the Lone Ranger Died I know it was bad bad thing But I was at the First National Bank of Inspiration And my fingers longed to sing! I listen to my mentor’s voice I hear what he wants me to hear But no matter what he says to me I ain’t leaving this place my dear! |

PDV...I didn't notice any choppiness in this poem at all....It was actually rather awesome in it's scope and it's originality. I especially loved But my verses are a different thing I wrote about the Zit and the pop tart war So shrivel up this M & M Heart I’m ashamed to write anymore This...from a chipmunk who writes about laundry and garbage pickup. So very well done, PDV...congratulations on your 16,000  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
