PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There are romantics,
the hopeless lovers
who write to significant others
in iambic pentameter
like Shakespeare wannabes.

There are dramatics,
victims of childhood trauma,
that write of the abuse,
the neglect, because
it’s cheaper than therapy.

There are the dreamers,
those who invent worlds
beyond this mediocrity
and fantasize about living
outside of themselves.

Then there’s poets like me,
the screamers
that write just to remember
they have a voice.

There are romantics,
the hopeless lovers
who write to significant others
in iambic pentameter
like Shakespeare wannabes.

There are dramatics,
victims of childhood trauma,
that write of the abuse,
the scars, because
it’s cheaper than therapy.

There are the dreamers,
those who invent worlds
beyond this mediocrity
and fantasize about living
outside themselves.

Then there are poets like me,
the screamers,
that write just to remember
they have a voice.
