Not A Poet

Topic:
oops

Sitting here,
Listening to my radio,
Wondering what to write,
I search the deepest thoughts in my mind,
Nothing.
But this I did find,
I'm not a poet.
I dont know why I chose to express my feelings in poetry,
I'm no good at it.
Thats what it seems to me.
But as I write,
It's not poetry.
Its a person being born,
With my feelings, with my emotions, with my lack of talent for this art.
I thought I could make great poetry by just writing down words that rhyme,
But its more than that,
When you can write down how youre feeling,
And make the reader,
feel what youre going through,
Thats true poetry.
This poem is aimless,
no basic points to it,
no good rhyming words,
but its alive...bringing forth my feelings to the world

Who said you weren't a poet? I think you just proved otherwise. Poems are supposed to rhyme?? Heh. Great write!

| rhyme does not poetry make. rhyme is just one of the devices of poetry. Read, "The New Princeton Encyclopedia or Poetry and Poetics", it is the bible. No other book gets close to it. However, I don't think that you can get up one day and say I will be a poet, I'm sure there are some exceptions. It's more like you wake up one morining and discover you are a poet, and then you write compulsively because that inner voice takes over. As you can see many people don't want to rhyme. Good Luck |

You are a poet, you are.
If you can write your feelings and expressions down and touch another person thru laughter, tears, thoughts, contemplations and if you can keep the readers interest---you are a poet.
Not everyone writes the same way but please don't undersell yourself because i've glimpsed a poet and that poet wrote this poem.
Chin up and keep writing....!
