I can't write like you write

I can't write like you write

A Poem by Jon Roggie

Yes,
  this is another one of those writes.
     One about how I write.

I know,
  I take getting used to.

"Why so few words?

Why so vague?

Why do leave,
  making me ask so many damn questions!"

It's just me.
  That is what feels natural.

Sometimes,
  I try another style,
   and occasionally it feels right,
     but after review,
       they are just a continuation of what has been done before.

This is a case in point.
  I am just talking to whoever is there.
    Simple.

Getting back to what I was going to say,
  I can't write like you.

Each of you has your own style,
  and more importantly,
   motivation.

I only get a glimpse of who you are,
  and it doesn't matter.

Write your way,
  and forget everyone else.

Express your creation,
  and cherish the act.

Take comments with a grain of salt,
  and don't let them weigh on the future.

Each write should be a glimmer of the soul,
   waiting to be discovered.

Sorry,
  guess I am rambling....

I like to think this is what we are here for. Thank you!
jon, i like your style...but you know that.

less is more, and abstract is good in poetry...leaves more for the reader to imagine.

stay with what you are comfortable with...you have many readers who are just as comfortable with your style....
