The Poet by ~COPPERHEDRED:iconCOPPERHEDRED:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Fixed


They call me a poet and whisper in hush,
I talk much too little and think way too much,
my friends are all crazy,
like Byron and Yeats,
I sit home on Fridays and don't go on dates.
I hate society or so I am told,
withdrawn and broken,
or maybe too bold.
It's not called true art,
nor bought for your wall,
I look for life's meaning,
and hear when it calls.
I see the moonlight,
and write by the stars,
say what you will,
but I am life's bard.

My "lyrical" response to all of us (the poets) not being taken seriously. I rhymed on purpose; normally I don't do rhyming poetry, but I thought it added to the irony of what "others" think of poets.

Subject matter: perfect. It's always interesting to see rhyme coming out of a head that isn't used to it, I broke the couplet addiction couple of years back and now I can't do fixed poetry properly, though I have an addiction to sestinas [that form that drives you insane with repetition].

And my syllable count is too wonky to even think of fixing this piece's rhythm. So, later~

I do believe I'm in love. :D

Preach it sistah, you're a poet after my own heart!

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

"Speak to me of love,
of roses and flowers,
and sonnets and psalm.
Heavenly embrace and kisses sweet,
dewdrops and wine,
when two hearts both meet.
Of souls kiss, eternity, and all things divine,
midnight walks with two hands entwined,
sunrise and sunset and life in between.
unwritten melodies and such things unseen.
The meaning of life and thoughts unspoken,
the poets curse of a heart badly broken."

paint pictures in your mind...
tell you of what I've seen."

Thanks!
Rhyming poetry I normally don't do.
If it comes to me that way though, I write it that way.
Don't rework much, if any of my writing.
Too many categories...I hate putting things in categories.
There's too much of that in the "real world".

It's best to keep it the way the Muse sends it. After all, spontaneous poetry is sometimes the best stuff around.
There's too much angst categories. And frankly, just "poetry" would do. All poets belong to this secret fellowship.

I agree, just "poetry" would cover it.
I'll probably get beaten now by the "lit-school grads" (lol)
Yep, another club that the initiation is "rather rough".
I'm starting a chat, if you're interested I'll add you as a friend.

I think I've already been rejected by the "lit-school grads" as you put them.
Sure I don't mind. What's the name of the chat?

Poets and Madmen.
I'm going to see what happens,
if I don't get enough response I'll just close it out.

You're welcome! :D

Man, that's beautiful.
