Express Yourself

13 Years Ago


Can all feelings and thoughts be expressed in 5 lines, or are there some more complicated and deeply felt that need more lines to express? I don't know, I believe if you allow your feelings or thoughts to just flow onto the page as they are; you can express them in 5 lines. In 5 lines your feeling or thought is concentrated for maximum effect. Check out this 5 liner:

Writing A Poem
It's Robert Browning who said,
"When I'm writing a poem only God and I understand it;
When it's done, only God understands it."
Seems my poems are becoming like Browning's;
Oh God! I need readers.
