i will not volley words

i will not
volley words
with you.
that's not
what this poet
chooses to do.

i wrote
my mind
in words unkind.
now i find
you want me
your clock to wind.

and i cry "nay".
i will not say
more words that pay
with this poets thoughts this day.

instead i write.
i will not fight
nor lose sight
of poetry's sweet light.

for as i said
poetry's written to be read.
not blead
to stuff your head.

Hi Steve,
Still sounds very effeminate to me, never the less I defend your right to say what you feel.may that never be denied you
And you have succeeded getting me to read,
whatever it is you call your particular type of prose.
