Dear Readers...

I am a free bird

I am free

I have a life too

Let me be

Why put me into the prison

Of genre

Make me a separate entity

I have a life too

Just,

Let me be

Yours loving poetry

 

Author's Note

This is as much applicable to poetry as other forms of art like movies or music.....Felt this way from long ago, just tried to express it through the poem....

Why put me in the prison of genre
Make me a separate entity...THAT was poetically
fantastic! loved this!

[Michael G.]

Simple statement. complex thought.
Excellent in its flow. Well done.

[Lonely Islander]

i thought a lot about this before and this is the first time ive seen someone writing about this...you're absolutely right. poetry is a way of expressing your feelings, it can't have a genre , its just poetry. this piece was really thoughtful even though u wrote it using a beautiful simplicity. great job:-):-):-D.

[Pure Hope]

I love the simplicity of the words and phrases. Yet the complicated thought. No specific genre is just as special and important as any other particular genre.
Sweet yet a touch of sass. ~j
