Unwanted Poet

A look into the mirror!

Feeling of no-one,

Doubts in my mind,

Reluctant to stir,

Thoughts are unkind,

Pressures of elders,

Goals in focus,

Wants unheard of,

All hocus pocus,

Mind beckons answers,

Thoughts drawing blank,

Plane of entire misery,

From Billy to Frank,

Hills far away,

Silence he wrote,

A killing stone,

From the angry poet.

Author's Note

Simplicity is key!

Reviews

[R J Askew]

Yeah, no one cares much about poets, unless the do something outrageious or die young. Willam Blake ended in a paupers grave with about three people standing there to see him go. And Keats hardly sold a verse when he was alive. Byron of course was a b*****d. Yeah, no one wants us cos we say things that make them uncomfortable, or they are too stupid to understand us.

Simplicity is the key and complexity is the lock that subdues the turmoil.

Nice one.

[Draven]

Its interesting how so little can be so much.

[Tomislav Petricevic]

I can relate to these doubtful thoughts. Good write indeed, simplicity showed its capabilities of making a well written, deep piece.

[Kenneth The Poet]

A great piece. The rhyme is excellent and the rhythm is fluid. Love the tones too.

[ShaneBerry]

very simple, it almost creates its own beat as you read it.
this seems to leave the reader with a feeling of anxiety in the best way possible lol.
very very simple and very very personal it seems. thank you for sharing :)

Like the short word form writes, and this one is a good one, so well done

[Bats In The Belfry]

I felt the angry restlessness or frustration as I read this poem. I really like it. Especially the lines "Wants unheard of, All hocus pocus" It made me want to scream in frustration for the poet.

[Fragilebrokendreams]

Nice! It is sharp like a blade and hot from anger like a coal fire. So good yet so simple!

[Chris]

I read this because I wanted to... and it's got truth and bite. Silence makes me angry... because it never IS silent.

i feel like this is made of bullet points. created to hash out each reason briefly and then fly into the next. this happens, this happens, this happens, this happens. brilliant.
