A Poem by supernova_thoughts

A story is what I thought I'll write

But alas!

A poem it turned into

They say it is okay

So I went ahead

and changed my genre

Story is what I wanted

Poem is all I can write

It saddens me

As the truth unfolds

Not everyone

Is made out of same pixie dust

I'm poem

I hope you'll be my story

Both

Blending into one

creating

something much

better

I wanted to write a story

But

Poem is all I can give.

Poem or story can be the same, ask Homer. The Illiad is the longest poem I have ever read and it tells a hell of a story. This was clever and I found its story great.

Poetry is generally thought to be the height of enlightened thought if the author has a "poetic" soul. But there are hacks and charlatans in every genre and every artistic expression as well as shameless plagiarists and thieves of intellectual property. What is the chaff to the wheat, eh? Someone once asked me if I wasn't afraid of having my works plagiarized by wannabe poets. I replied that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery that exists. Besides, there are international laws that protect copyright and intellectual property. Most of us should be so lucky as to have our work read, let alone, stolen. (laughing) I always wanted to write dialogue for Hollywood productions myself or make a living as a playwright. I'll have to be satisfied with being a poor hillbilly poet from the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. I'm not Thomas Wolfe but I do look homeward for my inspiration. I enjoyed the read. Keep up the good work.
