Unwanted Poet

A look into the mirror!

Feeling of no-one,

Doubts in my mind,

Reluctant to stir,

Thoughts are unkind,

Pressures of elders,

Goals in focus,

Wants unheard of,

All hocus pocus,

Mind beckons answers,

Thoughts drawing blank,

Plane of entire misery,

From Billy to Frank,

Hills far away,

Silence he wrote,

A killing stone,

From the angry poet.

Author's Note

Simplicity is key!

Reviews

[R J Askew]

Yeah, no one cares much about poets, unless the do something outrageious or die young. Willam Blake ended in a paupers grave with about three people standing there to see him go. And Keats hardly sold a verse when he was alive. Byron of course was a b*****d. Yeah, no one wants us cos we say things that make them uncomfortable, or they are too stupid to understand us.

I really enjoyed your writing. Great flow and well written. Well done my friend!

[Divinity Sleeps in This]

I found the emotions in this one stirring and interesting.

[Kiri Nells]

Re-read the contest you entered this poem in. Lol, you are going to slap yourself seriously. Just read it, for your own sake.

Unless you want to win a Darwin award...

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Nicely said. Great flow with a brick wall at the end. Enjoyed!

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I enjoy your writing and the simplicity of it. I've found in life as well; the simple things to be the most beautiful.

I think you have voiced the art well love, the randomness, the utter reflection of what has become, all that has been, all that is suspended! Stunning poem xx
