Dead Poets Society

Words with meaning?

Dead Poets?
Dusty, musty old men
Old women, too
Ah, Women!
Given by the gods
The greatest gift to Man

Poets all dead and gone
Poets great
Poets renouned
Poets wise and perceptive

Poets like Raven Spirit and Phaedra
Poets I know
Poets like new friend Wildflower
Poets like Dawn E. Key
Those few I know
Those many I do not
So many poets here

A poet I am most definitely not
My words upon paper make no sense
There is no rhyme, nor at times reason
Oft times even I wonder at the meaning

So I wonder why did I join?
Dead? I wonder at times
Poet? Most definitely not
Society, no none would accept
Silly old man, a poet you are not!

So cute! You made me laugh out loud with this one. A perfect little "dead poets" poem!

[*~Imperfectly Me~*]

I like it, and the name just caught my attention because i feel it is one of the best movies I have seen.

A poem does not need to rhyme to be considered a poem.... I like this style that you wrote in and you expressed your views very well... Personally I think are a poet just for writing this, but that is my opinion :) Great Job!

One of my favorite movies!

You are a poet and a weaver of words........but dead, far from it. You ooze energy.

To be a poet, one must have a fondness of words, and to such a degree that they are willing to play with them at length. A true poet writes those words down for the world to read. This, you have done, Sir. You have expressed here your love of words, and that you love the words of others.

There is no doubt in my mind, that you are indeed a poet.

I can't add anything to what an ordinary woman said either. But I'd say you have a poet's soul.

Ah ... An Ordinary Woman said it ever so well. This is fun and silly and a bit wonderful. I can sense a feeling of ebullience as you write!

[An Ordinary Woman]

You just proved without a shadow of a doubt that you are! This is fabulous, well written and fun.
The beauty of poetry to me at least, is the absence of walls and boundaries. Simply filling the page with thoughts unaccounted is well and good. Excellent writing!!
