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 !

"You can't stand people who carp and criticise other poets?"
Right! That's the reason WE are NOT Friends.
I am who I am & You are who You are...🙅I want my Friends to develop & become Better...👌
THANKS LYSI ~ i APPRECIATE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ! But both of us have to accept that in MODERN POETRY ~ There areno rules ~ no rhyme ~ no meter ~ no grammar ~ no standard spelling etc ~ but it is still accepted as POETRY. However if someone says their poem is a HAIKU ~ I would expect it (in English) to be 5~7~5 and be about Nature and the Seasons etc and I would point it out if ity deviated from that ~ OK The same goes for Sonnets & Villanelles etc ~ this is the sacred ground of Classical Poetry which you and I understand but most people posting on MPS don't ! Poets are very sensitive and when and where I have questioned ~ meter ~ rhyme pattern etc they have got upset and stopped posting so now I just try to encourage and comment gently and constructively on the STRUCTURE and praise the SUBJECT ! I encourage all my Friends on MPS to try Acrostics ~ Haiku ~ Sonnets etc and some of them do ~ but i always encourage ~ I find your remarks quite gentle you are NOT a CARPER or a NEGATIVE CRITISISER you are a Positive Encourager and "Teacher" and I respect you for that ~ OK. Yours BRIAN
Awesome write, write on my friend
Thanks TONY ~ you are a Blessing ~ BRIAN
