Poetry\'s from the Heart and not the Head
Poetry lets you say things ~ better left unsaid
Poetry is sweet nothings ~ snuggled up in bed
Poetry is an art-form no one should refuse
Poetry\'s the best cure for the Blues
Poetry\'s not rational ~ mystic movement of one\'s muse
Poetry\'s is folk lore from the distant past
Poetry is rapping ~ incoherent much to fast
Poetry\'s eternal designed to last and last
Poetry is words ~ apposite to Season
Poetry is timeless ~ devoid of meter rhyme or reason
Poetry deemed \"modern\" is to the Purists TREASON !
Poetry is yours and poetry is mine
Poetry\'s spontaneous ~ explosive line by line
Poetry\'s meant to be enjoyed not dissected and untwined
The moving hand doth write
and having writ moves on
Nor all thy piety and wit
can lure it back to cancel half a line
Nor all thy tears wash our a word of it
So don\'t give a bugger what other people think
Just write and always lubricate ~ your poem with a DRINK
Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love & Peace BRIAN XOX
Even though I write (and publish) Classical styles of Poetry ~ I am a
Free Spirit and I can\'t stand people who carp and criticise other poets
for 6 ~ 8 ~ 4 Haiku ~ Sonnets with 16 lines and too many \"half rhymes\".
Personally I see BEAUTY & VALUE in all poetry and always ENCOURAGE !
