Poetry in motion

D’oh! I do wish you wouldn’t ask these awkward questions when I’ve just swallowed a truth drug!

Ignorance profound
always mocking those who try
do you have a heart?

Oh heartless me that dares to mock
when all around will flatter
with sophistry and poppycock
to redefine the matter
which being..
that the pretty word
must do much more than caper
and skitter like a flightless bird
across the precious paper.
Heartstopping art of brevity
beyond the navel-gazing
jaw-dropping grief or levity
raw rage with all-guns blazing
contained within a stanza, stories
withered to a word,
the sweat soaked page of glories
growing wings
back on the bird.

not so bad considering I only spend a minute on each one (apart from the haikus of course)

That long?

I was trying to go for the whole spontaneous element in order to give the poems a more personal touch, trying to abstain the longer and less original approach of taking ages to come up with something which (sometimes) fails miserably to capture the moment in a way which the reader can relate to

All my poems are like that tho forget me not, just written not thought bout , i think some like staight raw from the heart poetry and some dont so maybe a need to agree to disagree lol xxx

(hey esme how you doing hun? xxxx)

Same here, they are in my head in the night but I can never remember them!

When I do have a dabble its written as I type, that suits me.

Though I did love Esme’s one up there ^^ very tongue in cheek (or not!) isnt it great having her back in full form though! 8)
