You and I

I am not I in a poem.

You are the you of my mind.

We are engaged in this reading,

Lovers of lyrical lines.

Syllables chosen for rhythm;

Vowels sounded out for the rhyme.

Images carefully crafted

Lead you to laugh or to cry.

Poems present what we're feeling,

Who are the we, you and I?

Words are what hold us together.

Is, then, our union a lie?

[Be myself!]

Well...this is very good. You ended with a question that is more of an opinion, I believe that you can meet friends by just the very ink that you write with be it liquid or pixels. I are more likely to show yourseslf in writing than in person because you can be yourself. Hopefully, no one will judge you by your writing but by your actions. The knowledge of literature itself is a friend to any human. It teachs us even if we don't wish to learn. So the answer to your question, in my opinion, is no, it is not a lie but a florishing bud wanting to grow into a beautiful rose.

Ah, very nice response. Thanks, Lexi.

[Be myself!]

Haha. Yay. Lol. And your welcome. :)

[Dennis A. Clark]

I chose a good name, didn't I?

[Be myself!]

Yep. Thats my favorite. Other than the fact that it is also a pornstars name.

[Dennis A. Clark]

Just looked it up. Ah, okay.

[Be myself!]

Yea. Kinda of a disappointment.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Very cleverly written, brings the true meaning of poetry to life.

[Joshua Lean]

*fine work indeed.

[Joshua Lean]

Whine work indeed.

[Verser]

Hardly a lie, as every poem creates a bond between the poet (whether there is an assumed narrator or not) and the imagined reader. It is fun to read a poem that investigates that.

I am not the I of this comment.
You are the you on this page.
There's more play in your wordplay than logic,
But the conclusion still strikes me as sage.

[Dennis A. Clark]

I love it.

[Dennis A. Clark]

Yet there is logic, ne?

[Lexi Nicole]

Thoughts and opinions were well-crafted. Short, but each stanza has its own subtle impact, that accumulates to create a vivid subtle message.
