A Poets Lot

Saxon Crow

Dare i become a pretentious poet?
A Shakespearean scribe
A seeking laureate
Using a language to stir the senses
‘Come hither dear friends
Let thine ears be bewitched!’
Or should i yearn for a more clearer way?
Something less grandiose to explain my feelings away
A poet writes what they feel at that time.
Using words in a way that reflects their own mind.
So all i can say is i make no excuses
Whether its Keats, Ayres or Larkin
Who i choose as my muses.
Some days i shall charm, some days insult
Some days i will harm, while others, rebuke
I just dont know what I'll write, when i write
Who knows that laureate could be in my sights!
So without further ado about nothing much
This expression of self now comes to a close.
To my friends, poets and love gods
Thanks for lending me your eyes
This poem is now over
You can now breathe a sigh!

      Just do what you do to let it all flow out of you in any way you feel is right at the time.
      I leap from style to style without any style at all.

        Greta write SC but you will have to get in the queue to become the Laureate there are many of us in that queue.

            Saxon Crow,

            I enjoyed the read.

            I especially liked the lines...
            โ€œA poet writes what they feel at that time. Using words in a way that reflects their own mind.โ€

            A great write!
            Thank you for sharing.
