Falling embers Splintering lives and Piercing memories Rage begets rage. Weeping mothers Enraged brothers Martyred fathers Widowed sisters Pushing ideologies My way or no way Twisted metal Territorial markings Of a beast.

Welcome to PS. I enjoyed reading your poems today. About the poet thing, you are a poet if you say you are. Keep writing and sharing your thoughts and feelings with your voice. I find reading other poets will often spur me into writing a little differently, but never just copy someone's work.
