welcome to my world of poetry

welcome to my world of poetry  

 

 

gibberish is my goal

i fear interpretation of my work

because then readers will be wading into shallow waters

while i wait for positive returns

as in a popular election

i would rather confuse them with my rhetoric

write like an acrobat in mid-air

aloof, over the heads

 

safer from the cliff

no one will attempt to climb high enough

to understand me

and know that i have been faking it

all these years,

and my writing is nothing more

than ink stained tears

 

that dry before i can create

enough of a clouded camouflage

to misdirect them.

I will only look at this as a work of fiction told well. Your work is anything but gibberish and each final line ends with a boom. :)

the poem was written tongue-in-cheek in response to the comment made on my poem...just having some fun...but i liked the inspiration..

Although I find lost love and rejection to be frequent themes in your work, I cannot believe this one is autobiographical. Your poetry comes across as personal and conversational, like that of many modern poets, but I see nothing deceptive or confusing about it.

just was a tongue-in-cheek response to a comment on "following too closely"
wasn't just the comment...it was that the person blocked me immediately after making the comment...i appreciated the inspiration to write a poem for fun..
thanks, for your kind words, John.

Poets can be a touchy lot. I don't include jokes in my reviews any more, because what I considered humor got me blocked several times.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the review was scathing...I just said thank you.
but since i am blocked, he won't see my response.
like Art Linkletter used to say "People are Funny"---
and you are right...poets can be a touchy lot...but most are kind souls.
