Some may follow tradition and patterns of form, not me, I'm out of the norm.

Some may study and try to immitate the masters.
But who did the masters immitate,
maybe they adventured out on their own fate.


I love tradition,
but I go by my own intuition.


One day I may venture out,
and explore what this true poetic world is about.
However for the moment,
I'm going to live in the moment.


Living in the moment,
tells me to just enjoy the moment,


I've been accused of not being a real poet,
but personally these accusers can stow it,
because I know it.


I've never professed to be such an animal,
so the accusation is subliminal.


Its elevation,
has no true levitation
as to my true navigation.


So in summation,
to my poetic relation,
I enter my own equation,
and ignore the accusation.


Blink!

You are a real poet.
Just ignore what those idiots say or write.

grady,
it's the voice thaht makes the poet,
not the slavish imitation of dead men's accent
but the living voice of one who tries to
communicate using the sound and sense of words.

seems to me that your voice is pretty impressive

good write

The art of poetry
is self-expression

To speak one's own voice
To express one's mind.

If I speaketh like the ancient poets
Then I shall adopt their fashion of clothes too.

Why do we have to write like them
How did Elvis become the King of Rock & Roll

.....Because he didn't want to sing like everyone else.

So get your creative juices flowing
I like expressive poetry.

I always like eating a deformed sandwich
with yummy good mayonnaise

Rather than a well-cut well-formed sandwich
with nothing that taste good
