I'm a poet
and I know it
guess it's up to me to show it
Why, you may ask
is this my task
I don't know
but let it flow
I need to let my poetry flow
I need to know
how to show
that it's so
Ours is not to reason why
Ours is just to do and die
til death do us part
appreciate my art
It's all I have to give
while I live
Do I dare...need to share
have no money....it's not funny
but share my deepest darkest fears
that I have held in for years....
I couldn't help but smile while reading this work. a random topic, sweet and to the point. flows well, and rhymes beautifully. the beginning seems a bit cliche, but in a cute way (hey that rhymes too..) you have a nice collection in your profile..this is the first of your work that I've read, but i'll deffinately check out some of your others. that drake guy contacted me too, and left a critique.. he seems to think he's got it all down. the truth is, we're all poets in some way or form, some better than others, some more big-headed (-clears throat- drake) and some of those who try too hard sometimes (-clears throat twice- drake, drake) lol, well anyway, check out my work some time, tell me what you think. thanks! ...Jena
Hey Pam,
I like this poem! It's so expressive and I'm impressed. You write so well! I hope you are doing well. I especially like: "but share my deepest darkest fears
that I have held in for years...." I think you should share. I can't even imagine all the pain you are going through each day. *hugs to you* Remember to take your own adive ;)
As a poet write from your heart and soul and screw formality it will come if needed at all, I personally hate formality. My Eng prof long ago said write from the heart it is the words that are important that format is nothing more then formality and has no feeling
