Poem


Who wants to act their age?
Not me, count me out!
Who wants to be King of the Hill?
Remember that game?
It makes me quite ill.

Why can't we just be ourselves?
Instead of proving we are the best
of the bunch.
The Olympics of Poetry?
POTD, first, second, third or honorable 
mention.
Do these bind us together or a cause for 
separation and dissension?

I'd much rather see plain enjoyment of each 
other's poetry.
Where you are you and I am me.
A poem, further should stand on it's own.
No videos, no images, just let the
poet's words roam.

Think of Poe, Shakespeare, Cummings or 
Longfellow.
If their words cannot reach us on their own,
Must we find an image or video to drive the 
point home?

Such is the age we live in,when
words no longer matter?
But we must, oh,we drool for an image.
To fill the void, when it's the poets
job to be the artistic master!
