Poetry Illness

Poetry Illness

A Poem by MrJodie
"

I am NOT a poet. I am not my color TV, either...

"

It's like a collection of lines

Thrown together without any thought

A broken syncopation and out of time

A rhyme?  No.

 

Step to and read the lines

Step two and stay in time

Step, too, 'cause it's all there

 

How cAn AnyoNE reAd ThIs CRap on The inTErnEt?

Do the young know things we don't?

Did someone make it all up?

Where's the conspiracy?

Just keep spewing

 

Poetry, used to be...

What?

Good, bad, something less, something more...

Something else

Poetry is whatever you want it to be - ideas, rhymes, themes, stories, rants..... feelings coming out in words... no punctuation, perfect punctuation..... something for everybody and nobody..... I walk up and read and sometimes I have something to say and other times I walk away..... I love the ability to do this.... Sometimes I read and feel one way and read it again and get more - something that makes me think, that makes me smile, that makes me blush, that makes me say yes - that is how I feel..... Something.....to be had....to be shared, to be told or maybe NOTHING.... but not very often nothing....

Thought provoking & poignant! Not unlike yourself, we may not be poets nor color T.V.'s - BUT we are ALL walking epistles & read of all men...

Nicely penned...

Reminds me a lot of Fight Club, "You are not the car you drive," or the internet you surf. Something something along those lines. Good stuff! Very witty!
