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.

[No use.]

the overwhelming flood of inescapable poetry! vicious and merciless its love and wrath~ you've captured the bondage of the poet and exposed it, well done!

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

this is a fantastic piece of writing that most of us will be able to relate to from the first stanza on~ really well placed key elements of a poet's mind are opened beautifully~
often I have been known to say that my poetry writes me instead of the other way around~ a bittersweet deal that is~

Everything has a trade off, a blessing to have poetic verse in your mind always ready for a new creation and a curse if it consumes you and takes away from your life. Great write.

[Skoo.]

I absolutely love this xD
"Blood no longer flows
Through these veins

This part is especially brilliant :D
For me, this poem is about hating poetry because you see it and think it everywhere, so much so you're practically drowning in it.
Good write (:

It's a gift and a curse...like Monk would say... this is a good piece showing how any talent can be great and yet have a downside...nice work...

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

May be that you hate poetry but it loves you.. and is it a one sided love affair?
Seems to me no. Your poetry is lovely.

Look at me....poetry stops. Problem fixed...lol. Its like the line from Throw Momma Form the Train "a writer writes.....always" can be a curse. Nice job and Happy Sunday!
