I Hate Poetry

Hmmm

I hate
Yes hate
Poetry

It fills my mind
Yes all the time
A river of insanity flows

Blood no longer flows
Through these veins
Just verse and ludicrous rhyme

I hate poetry
I see it in every created thing
It's in your eyes
Your nose and lips
Even in the swaying of your hips

Give me peace
Like others have
Poetry to me
is a bursting dam

I feel I'm sure to drown
Poetry is no life belt saving me
yet you seem to take
without heartache

I like this piece a lot...it really shows the fragility of the world through the poet's mind, how the language of poetry is its own entity that many cannot even comprehend. It is true, everything is poetry, but leave it only to the poets to notice. Good write.

i think you can call it ,in other words ,the making of a poet..
to me its not just someone that keeps imagining the beauty or therefore the ugliness of the sky or the earth
all around..its some deep feelings and appreciation,in someone who is so sensitized to any change around
and it accumulates to a limit when then it explodes like a thunder ,he just could not close his mind and words seeps
from under ,apparently only then in non stop cadence..its like reaching a point when silence just wont do
then you start to sing like crazy to the whole world,saying to all,hear hear me,for alone i cant take it no more
lovely write..

Interesting.A unique view on the poet's mind, and still,even a poem that strongly dislikes poetry can be good poetry!

I saw the title and was drawn in... Yes... words and feelings can overwhelm the mind... can be torture to one trying to find peaceful sleep... Thought provoking write to be sure!

il always remember the inner peace, many of ur poetry has brought me...carried me away to that peaceful place even if it only was for that moment..thank you

Oooooh this one was so good!
I agree with the hate of poetry. Sometimes I find it frustrating, almost as if my brain is wired to poetry now.
I enjoyed this, a write that I could relate to! Good stuff! =)

Words have gave me peace and anguish in my life. Sometime I would wander off alone to escape the city and voices. I believe poetry have saved me. When I had nothing else. Always had my pen and paper. A very strong poem. A world without poetry and story would be a empty world. A very good ending to a excellent poem.
