a poet has no limits ...
and that is the beauty
of poetry
we see the irony
of everything
and can express
sometimes to excess
for people to access
our thoughts and dreams
and sometimes schemes
hope someone else can figure out what we mean
we sometimes can't
I know I am often dazed and confused
and bemused
by the gift of poetry to let emotions out
and let my soul scream and shout
Author's Notes/Comments:
written today inspired by reading another poet's poem...pretty cool...inspiration...gotta love it...Inspirations reply:Yeah, this was based on mine!
Which ironically was named "A Poet's Limits" and was about the limitless bounds of poetry. Weird....Jody thanks for the inspiration...love your stab at poetry website...keep it up...
for some reason I cannot get a link to stab at poetry to work here but click on jody's critique/comment link and you will get there eventually....if you are meant to be...Pam
Great piece, and so true, love it.
enjoyed it alot...especially noticed the symetry in the typing.

I liked reading your poem and the many comments that followed. Do all of your poems get this attention? I like to read a poem and if i like it i find more by the same writer and if i do not like it, i simply move on as there are poems for everyone I think but one poem will never be for everyone. I wanted to find another of yours when i read this one. Thanks everyone.

Hi Derek,
I am glad you liked this one. I have over 200 posted right now and all of them have at least one comment most have more than one. If you liked this one you will probably like the rest of them too. Thanks for checking it out and please do check out my other poetry and comment on what you read there and give me a link to yours. You can also read the many comments left in my guestbook from people who have read lots of my stuff and chose to leave one message at the guestbook rather than comment on each individually. I hope you enjoy reading more of my poetry.
Thanks,
Pam

First let me say your poem was up to par. Second I would like to comment about rhyming as a limiting style of writing. I agree that if one rhymes that getting the full expression and meaning of what is said is a not easy nor common. For this reason I hold a person in high regard that gots the ability and skill to say it better when they rhyme.

thanks very much for that compliment and please check out my postpoems site and comment on my stuff there cuz when I am down or just not in a creative mood I often go there and just read the comments or guest book and it gets me going again...so I can sure use the moral support... and send me a link to check out yours too...thanks for your support...I like to get comments but not really critiques and wrote a poem about that called Advice to straighten that all out...most of my comments are comments and not critiques on my stuff here...most people that contact me or leave comments love it...and I am glad to share...I also wrote one called Stick with your personal style or something like that...I have over 200 posted here so read at your leisure and please comment on whatever you read, good or bad, I appreciate all comments...don't forget to sign the guest book...lots of people just don't have the time to comment on everything they read so they just go to the guestbook...you can read what people are sayin and it is all positive stuff...so thanks again and hope you enjoy whatever you read and send some of yours my way...thanks,Pam

our thoughts and dreams

You may want to replace "figure out" with something else, maybe interpret or discover, just a suggestion though. Nice work.

I read some of your other poems, and I see that you rhythm..a lot. To be honest, I think it's alright, it's pedestrian in ways. Try punctuating, and playing around with words more.

Precious baby,
Thanks for checking out my poetry...feel free to leave comments on stuff you do check out. I appreciate you taking the time to check them out.
I like to rhyme a lot...that is my style of poetry and I am comfortable with it.
You got me...I am a pedestrian totally. I do not drive so am totally pedestrian..how did you guess that? Thanks for reading my poetry. Pam

If you want to see me play around with words check out Cosmic Electric Collective Unconscious and that will lead you to two more that totally play around with words and style and are co-written with two friends of mine I think you might enjoy. You can read all three of the poems from the first line to the last or the last line on up to the first and they work both ways, very abstract, very playful with words and thoughts and just plain fun to read...check em out and leave comments there please...I think you will like them a lot if you are not to into my rhymy stuff...Pam

I think you are being sarcastic, but I meant pedestrian as in being cliche or humdrum.
That's cool that rhythming is your style. Whatever floats your boat. But if you want to grow as a writer, I suggest you try opening yourself to different forms of writing. That's all, don't take it personally. I used to rhythm a lot too, but I realized it often limited what I really wanted to say. Well anyway, keep on writing.

again, check out cosmic electric collective unconscious ....and move on to the other two .... guiding u toward those three cuz they don't rhyme at all...might be the style u prefer ...i am a rebel without a cause...i want people to read my stuff and think about it but read my poem Advice, but i enjoy knowing people actually read my thoughts and enjoyed them or it affected them in someway whatever way....thanks,Pam

Pam-I greatly enjoyed your scribe and thought it was crafted with insight.
I have also found poetry is a Lens thru which Clarity filters. Namyh

I got the impression that this poem was rather cliche. I'm not finding anything new here. I see no punctuation, no direction; merely a statement that "I'm a poet and you can't stop me."
If that's the best you think you can evolve this poem, then I will leave it be. If not, I suggest you rewrite. Find something new. Find your niche.
I feel some other kind of presence in your poetry.
Show me.

Huh? From where I come from...all the poetry I have ever read did not include or need punctuation...check out my Advice poem and my AKA my name is Pam for my sense of direction and then u might get me...thanks for stopping by and checkin it out anyways...appreciate your time...and I guess you got my message loud and clear at least...."I'm a poet and you can't stop me." oh yeah for the other presence read my over 100 other poems currently posted, you might find something new, who knows?Pam

This is really nice and I really like the last line, great piece.
Yeah, this was based on mine!
Which ironically was named "A Poet's Limits" and was about the limitless bounds of poetry. Weird.
poetry is the soul on paper ,the emotions shown in metaphor,the picture drawn of all was,is and will be that can come from dreams and become reality-if only we believe............
