Poetry Is Totally Insipid: Tale Of A Useless Craft by Scholarincharge(m): 10:12pm On Aug 07, 2016 |
in my mother womb I pick a pen poetry, prose, play and essay four brothers of same father tussle for my mussle and hussle they flash around jewels that lures be me, trick me, act me, define me they table what they are cable I want to be, I choose the be me. poetry become my voice, my song I sing amidst the chinese bamboo the magic I await yet to bang I sing to the nightgale all night hunger still wipe more the day I sing to local publications I turn a publish poet with zero coin I chase and sing to the seas perhaps my song be melodious in the foreign ears of strangers perhaps some buck crumb down from the table of the poetry lords but it's all wish, easy for alm takers be it real, they ride gaint horses same fate for the stinking poets cos poetry is no commercial art only we, the passionate few stand to walk galantly on its lone path- and Be. As she has all promise us kudos to bard, to the sons of word who will never stumble nor fumble and quit Mother's Pot cos it lacks meat. 1 Like 1 Share |

I swear even as a fully grown adult I still don't understand poetry. |

Heheheheheheh. Nice write up man. (just few typos). Poetry itself has different meaning to different people. I share your plight though. |

I find your write-up confusing. Your topic is totally misleading though. The poem you wrote would have looked better if you had arranged it properly. |

JoeBlocks: I think he wrote in light poetry and probably typed from a phone. |

Poetry Tah! They are Artistes who can't sing, writers who can't write and men who can't get laid. Truly, poetry is a grand profession |
