~Create Yourself~

Thanks Emma Joy for the inspirational pic!

I don't rhyme about time or any other f*****g line

who's to say what's write & wrong or if it sounds like a song

what's it worth in dollars and sense to be blown away

do you look at my bank account or just read my poetry

is this a popularity contest or based on how we are stirred

poetry is about creating & recreating the essence of life,

releasing the kraken, unleashing the gusto of lifeblood

move me and i'll respond, I don't care if you're the in crowd

a mere teen with pimples or a depressed adult monstrosity

it's the sheer joy of words and sharing our bloody emotions

I don't mind if you make a mess and there's brain matter oozing

heartfelt guts dripping from your quill, we have a clean up crew

it's me & you, and everyone here with their pens in a twist

purge it all over the fooking place even if you've felt judged

there's some satisfaction in falling down and letting it all hang out

 & none whatsoever in holding back and making retractions

DAMN!!! Preach it sister.... words of utter truth. To hell with judgement....this isn't a social club. Like I've told you we all have a story... and we all express it in our own way. I want the words to move me....make me cry..sigh...scream...dance. I don't care about form, style, rhyme or length as long as I react in some way. Art is freedom not being constrained by some one else's rules. Release the kraken...let love flow...moan with passion. Just WRITE it how you FEEL it!!! This is f*****g fantastic.... ;-)

Bahaha 'Friedarised Kimmerism moment...' Thats too funny!

This was a good piece, you have some great lines in here. Powerful write!

"poetry is about creating & recreating the essence of life,"

Loved this line, so truthful!

[Frieda P]

Ha, I can't take credit for that one, it's a David Scott original, but I love it to pieces...thanks Sye, doing the happy dance! x

[gabrielle]

i find comfort in this piece. indeed, "poetry is about creating & recreating the essence of life." strong message.

[Frieda P]

Nice to hear, thanks gabrielle.

[Jack...]

One of these days I wish you would just tell us exactly how you feel. Besides, I didn't even know I could see your bank account here...can I? :)>

Very cool Frieda and I really liked the rhyming in the first two lines. :)>

[Frieda P]

Ha then you'll really be sorry Jack! Yes, look it up, it's under contests...! ;-)

[Pete Langley]

First, this is an astonishing encompassing piece. It should be lodged as the foreword in every poetry book. It gives the reason why poetry is eternal. Diversity. The way every aspect of human thought and feeling can be transmitted. This is undiminished wisdom, Frieda. P.

[Frieda P]

Ah you flatter me Pete dear, music to my ears....thanks so much! x

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]
