Oh thank you very much for voicing that sooo true opinion about the unpopularity of the “rhyme” in here. It’s very sad to me that a technique in poetry which is so old is treated as if it were only for the “child” & only belongs in a nusery rhyme.
Poetry / Poets World
Sifting through these cold hard keys
Voices within, send out their pleas
Release me from this darkened place
To the world of written space
Distant voices inhale breath to life
Tales of madness, gloom, and strife
Listen intently to all who come through
Send out their thoughts, with vivid hues
Messengers whose content holds
Longings of love, such sadness told
Crying eyes, the invisible face
Just silhouettes, for the words to trace
Poets decipher, who will be heard
Should we just chose, the song of a bird?
Topics of thunder, rain, and the wind
Life, Love, and loss, the almighty sin
Say as the Poet, in depth what you see
Give life to your words, then, set them free
Pick not only, steady, happy or sad
Pull from the world, ridiculous or mad
Under the surface, look to the core
Gruesome realities, outside the door
Reasons galore, for the ugly or good
Poets don’t cover their eyes with a hood
Give to the world, something to feel
Warmth of the sun, Ice of cold steel
Look past cliché’s, uniqueness abounds
Through selection of words, Poetry’s found.

This is a great piece. I found it very moving and true. The way you say to look past the words to the message the behind
the words. Great Job!

Boy oh boy, you did it now. The rhyme scheme is so unpopular here but damn you did an excellent job. Really nice work, think it’s publishable (sp?) Poetry is more heart and less aesthetics for myself and boohoo for dem people who think they could do better.

This is a poet’s truth, there is a Heaven and Hell in a poet’s soul. A good poet is not afraid to show it. I like the story of ‘Poets World’, and it has good structure.

great piece. inspiring, indeed. One thing, though. The line “Poets don’t cover their eyes with a hood” seems a bit forced to me. I like the idea behind it and I understand its purpose, but perhaps you could say it in a different manner? It feels like you used “hood” just because it rhymed with good. Other than that, I loved it.

I like the idea that you are writing about writing. You are emotional, and influential, which are two things I look for in a poet.

I loved this poem! It was very articulate, logical, and whimsical at the same time.
It doesn’t seem forced at all, it has a very smooth flow to it.
It sounds great read aloud too.
It depicts the poets stance very clearly.
“Go with the flow, and just let it out.”
I especially liked the fifth verse.
It definitely inspires.
Absolutely wonderful!
