I’ve heard it said,
“poetry on why you write poetry”
can make a person
want to cringe
as well as using clichés
unless determined
by the THEM ~
to be used in some unique way
guess
when I use a ~ ‘squiggly‘
being me,
a poet of individuality
distinctively augmenting
the flow spewing my inter-voice
is like that overused saying,
“fingernails on a chalkboard”
to THEM ~ poetry critics ~
if you say so,
whatever ~
if poetic word is not ~
exploited to self-portray the act
the doing of the poetic experience
what a disfavor to the flavor
the embodied essence
entwined within the poetic form ~
creativity’s originality
expressed individuality
brought forth from within
words of thought
enmeshed
brewed
with the tang
the twang
of linguistic mannerisms
tempered with the humdrum of cliché ~
only to be exposed by some
as if a deficient use of poetry
tainted during dearth rubbed off
while living among ~
them people
the everyday
kind of folk ~ cringe
“My poetic words of thought embody creativity’s originality brought forth through a process of expressed individuality; appreciatively though, my poetry is also socially embedded with the linguistic mannerisms that are representative of the everyday kind of folk of which I’ve experienced life.”
peace out
