![]() [untitled]A Poem by J Carly![]() For S.S.P. , because your writing inspires me so...![]() Are you a poet? Or do you just write poetry? Do you travel on the scenic and winding backroads, Or do you take the highway to get from A to B? Do you make your own rules, Living with a sort of "balls-to-the-wall" approach? Or do you stick to the huddled masses, Never colouring outside the lines drawn by others who came before you?
Anyone, with enough practice, can take eloquent words And follow guidelines absorbed through some sort of virtual osmosis To later regurgitate some cheap imitation of a legend's work. But only a true poet can make sense of madness, And create something truly original in a world full of Mass production and assembly line literature. So, I ask again, are you a poet? Or do you just write poetry?
