What\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s all this Poem, by Valiantstar , at My poetic side

Whats

All this

Poetry?

What does it bring?

Deep hidden insight...

Brings laughter and humour -

Start a fight or a rumour.

Deep,shallow, etched in life.

Treasure everywhere!

For those to right.

Others doubt,

Or find

Absurd,

Not knowing

There is power

And strength in the word.

Poetry doesn't agree:

Words have liberty.

Rhyme, free and prose:

Delivered

In the

Line

Poet's

Chose.

Using ego

For a crutch

Doesn't really

Accomplish that much.

Wanting the world to see

Look! Look! Look at me!

Swept away in

Vanity.

But for

All

Those

Truly bold

Surrender

To get the gold.

I might know what poetry is, but not the foggiest of what an iambic pentameter is!

  You and me Both!

we should all do that we enjoy
its toxic to wade in waters we detest
hurts only ourselves...
shed comparisons n waging wars
to pass one more idle minute
after all
it's only ourselves we're fooling
only our time we're wasting
forcing a passion upon yourself
is such
a betrayal of your own, worth
a sad state, when that's the best
we think we deserve...

An oxymoron.
