i was told today
that what i had to say
was borin'
snorin'

that may be true
but i write
is the blue
late at night

i just
i must
show my day
as it passes away

another way
to say

into another day

"entertain"
that ain't the main
thing i do
i just write
late at night

that's what i do
write the blue

i just write for you
and for you
that's what i do
i write true

if i be borin'
i be snorin'
don't you knowin'
i be showin'

my simpicity
that be me

i guess
i'll past the test
forget all the rest

i be a bore
and old whore
who sold
his soul
to poetry

simplicity

that be me

simplicity
complexity

Simplistic complexity huh? Isn't that kinda like an oxymoron? Well you do it everytime you do write, bro', as well as anyone on the den, if someone does snore cause you bore them to sleep, then at least you got someone a good nights sleep, they can't complain there and that is only just right...Ed & Rufuz

Sorry Steve, I've made some errors during my last post. Here it is once again the corrected version of my response:

I prefer simplicity of a poem,
straight to the point,
with no extra words.

I like a poem
that makes a statement;
offers an idea;
describes an imagery
with no extra words;
no extra eyeball bouncing adverbs;
no extra strenuous adjectives.

I personally
write and enjoy
simplicity!

I, personally, don't think it's boring. I think simplicity has tremendous virtues! Look at george carroll - he calls himself a "simple poet," yet he has incredible depth. I also think what
appears 'simple' on the surface, has a lot of complexity underneath -- Jeff
