A Poetic Epidemic

We’re not being pretentious,

But our words are infectious.

Sometimes contentious,

We consider our thoughts precious.

Tis why we write them down,

To show how much we’ve grown.

We wear the pride like a crown,

And the meanings like a gown.

Don’t blame us if we get you thinking,

It’s better than just drinking.

It’s the sweetest release.

In the end you get peace,

It puts the mind at ease.

So go ahead,

Let your thoughts be well said.

I did enjoy this piece, Dear Poetess, very much so!
I've always been a fan of Free Style poetry and mono-rhymes, and you do them both beautifully.
Also, the keen blending of spot-on and slant rhymes lends this particular beaut a natural, unforced, and easy flow, so very pleasing to my poetic ear.
You've captured the spirit and essence of the poetess and poet simply brilliantly, fully, and with creative ambiance few I know of could … I love it, and the title, too!
Warms me, and makes me feel proud to be a writer of poetry.

Your work is special, unique unto yourself, and draws the mind, heart, and soul of your readers, with you, into your moments; what more could a talented poetess ask … my most grateful hug of thanks to you! ⁓ Richard : )

yes, on this poem...why we write...i like the near rhyme mixed in with the perfect rhyme...and the scheme is musical...although i am generally not a rhyme fan...i do like this.

and in your profile...yes, not a 9-5 job, writing...i write within the crevasses of my teaching---which i do love...but writing is such a part of me, i could never let it go...or more like, it would never let me go...

like this.

Truer words were never spoke.

Nice piece!
