words....

by cipher - Aries

what is poetry..
if not cliche...
does a rhyme scheme really work....
with these words i love to play....
some r just questions...
rehotorical at best...
others just venting..
most said in jest....
to define a poem...
should be no readers goal...
only the poet....
whos bearing their soul...
cliche?? 
i suppose maybe...
an illetist dream...
i think its just shady...
should i sound like the others..
inspiration almost plagerized...
or should i be me...
and tell it through my eyes...
whos to say...
i know its not me, nor you...
why do so many know...
just what to do?
can i make it complex...
deciphered by me...
or should i make it easily recognized...
and let everyone see....
back and forth i go...
hypocritical again...
if they do figure it out...
should i just let them in...
a glimps of whats inside...
is that what i should offer...
all i know is these r mine...
just another author.

Reason for writing:

    pretty self explanatory....this is just my opinion but ive seen soooo many people try to sound like "poetical" based on what they read in poetry books.....is there a huge difference between poetry and journal entries?  whats cliche? if it comes from the heart then who can judge that..and who knows what poetry really is...not me  :)   cipher
