In places my soul
is not quite whole
yet i write to impart
things I feel, from my heart
and to soothe my spirit
telling truths from within it
for thats where every poet
is the same, dontcha know it
our hearts on our sleeves
showing inside we bleed
but sometimes it just don't chime
making pain into rhyme
it ain't always pretty
when you're down feeling shitty
and who reads poetry anyway
just us softies here today?
No that's not an insult
we are all in that cult
but i dont really care
cos i'm a words billionaire
and read me or not
I don't give a fock!

- Comment from author about the poem: Inspired by Poetic Dans piece yesterday i found myself writing this initially as a comment upon his piece but then vanity stepped in and i decided to give it to you all. See what youve done Dan? The rhyming is your fault LOL

Well it turned out fine - love the term 'words billionaire'.
We have so many words at our disposal in this richest of languages - and no one can take that away from us softies.
Yes we are word billionaires, a phrase which just fell into place as i was looking for a rhyme. I still use chat rooms occasionally and of course there is always someone in those who 'wants to have a go' ... sadly for them they are usually word paupers and easily outclassed.
Word paupers - another lovely term.
This softy sometimes gives his poems to those he writes about, normally with a great response from the people.
Words are so important in our lives, as is the inspiration we can glean from others.
Super write.
Yes i know you do and you are brave to do so. Mind you, i expect there are also those who inspire you to write lines you wouldnt willingly hand over.
The run of the mill folk who are not into creative writing do think us lot a bunch of softies i think. I tried showing some of my fun ones to my son but i dont think he was at all impressed.
The poet may bleed out in many different, diversable and intrinsically crafted pieces of work. Each individual poet may be similar to another poet, yet they still appear eager to shine through their artistic flair in so many beautiful ways that the stunning effect of all poets will reveal the sunlight of perception to shine through and reveal the most wonderful landscapes of thought with the unconditional wisdom of what we all write about. You have made it very clear about wording and not having the worry of running out of them just in case you do. I love your thought and how you have captured so many angles for commenteers to reply with so many things to say and write about. 10 out of 10 for this one. Nice work.
You are a very kind man thank you.
First class writing my friend - a very inspiring read - - - - - I admire your fantastic rhyming too in this tribute to lovers of words.
All very tongue in cheek really, a bit of fun. Rhyme isnt a thing i concern myself with much unless writing a song. I'm a great admirer though of songsmiths like joni mitchell who could write without rhyme and wonderfully, melodically tell a story in her mature years.
Thank you for your kind comments...always appreciated.
There are so many ways one can share here, such as, poets bleed openly for all to see, but I cannot match your ingenuity
My friend, in the nicest possible way, dont match - be unique. There is only one you. No body has seen life on this planet through your eyes. We all may have seen something similar but none but you have your viewpoint.
Each of our contributions are as valid as anybodies on here. Only today i looked at the work of two great poets of 20th century. One of them i could comprehend, the other - a more renown poet - i could not understand at all. Did it matter, of course not.
I find expressing on MPS is therapy.
That was thoroughly enjoyed my friend, author note's had me in stitches too. You are so unperfectly perfectly you, with the ending I should pay attention too!
Like water off their back, I should stop giving ducks so much 😉
its all in the words tho innit.... cheers, N
