I just cant write poetry!

The title says it all. Here is a small demonstration...

 Feelings and emotions,

Happiness and glee.

The epitome of what makes a person write,

What they think is poetry.

 

From the images of a blue rose in the snow,

To the joy of a monsoon sky.

Are some of the things poets write,

Make readers imagine as their eyes pass by.

 

But what I think makes sheer poetry,

Is when some one writes from the heart and soul.

From the depth of what they have and feel,

From a deeper extent of what is real.

 

But my words just don’t rhyme,

And the meanings just don’t match.

I just cross out the lines,

And begin once again from scratch.

 

I just don’t have the depth,

The feelings to hold true.

The passion of something I truly love,

Be it red, white or topaz blue.

 

The words just don’t make sense,

And I have no intensity desired.

My poetry is just meaningless,

And I am really getting tired!

 

I shall stick on to the stories I write,

And leave this world of couplets and rhyme.

For I don’t have the passion, feeling or might,

Nothing wanted, or nothing truly mine.

 

Now take this as an example,

I bet you all can see.

That no matter how hard I really try,

I just CANT write poetry!

Oh I think I disagree with you..I dont think there is a difference between poetry and writing stories..
I think a real talented story writer who want his stories to shake the reader ,he has to be a poet to write stories
They all ask for imagination and lots of feelings,and dreaming of what you write..what you write,stories or poetry
should be dreamy full of images and thoughts..images that will take us far,will shut us out of the world around us
for a while,a while a space in time that could not count by the minutes..you are just lost in time and space
when you are writing poetry or stories..you could not tell where you are..you are so detached from real life or the world around you
if you could feel that while writing ,then you are a poet and writing poetry,no mater if what you are writing was a story
or the thing that they call poetry..its a special feeling ,a special state of mind,when you write..you could feel it
What you wrote here was poetry..and I loved it..
lovely write..

Haha definitely digging the irony yet un-irony (yes, that's now officially a new word xD) in this fun poem :] Like the fact that you wrote a poem on how writing it is not one of your great capabilities :p I must disagree with you on the fact that you can't write poetry though, because I think you are a wonderful poet- and who says things have to rhyme?
Very nice piece :]

[Andrew'sWonderland]

A great piece in which you contradict yourself!! This is a beautifully written poem!!

[TeenRomance]

Haha :-P This is such a creative poem. It was very fun to read.

See a psychiatrist because you are in denial. You can write poetry, you just dont think you can.

[Christopher Kneipp]

Obviously you are deceived
as it is obvious to me
and Proof lies in reviews received
You can indeed write poetry

:)

[The Flawed]

Well done, you can write poems, and this was agood one

[Deborah Leah Krempa]

I agree completely with Poetcipiers, you just wrote a lovely poem. Thank you for sharing. Debileah

[Poeticpiers]

I beg to disagree you can write poetry
all it takes is discipline ,you're doing fine.
Poems do not need to rhyme
although I find rhyme sublime
They look much neater ruled by meter
Read aloud they sound much sweeter
I think perhaps you underate
the poetry you could create.
