Modern Poetry
What is poetry?
Is it a medium that everyone can tap into, I don't think so
So does my poetry have to be sad or about something so tragic to be good or do I have to use metaphors that no one understands to be deep
That stuff is whack
so just let me do me
I thought poetry was something you use to release feelings
but these days poetry seems to have to entertain people
So I'll stick to my simple writing it's real
If my poetry has to live up to those standards poetry isn't poetry
Poetry is suppose to be a rythmic balance of one's mind, thought, point of view, and ideas
What ever that person feels not all the thought put into perfection of presentation
