A Little Insight To Me

I write dark, I write bright I write POTD, at night I write black, I write white to free my mind, not for spite I could be wrong, I could be right I do have, the right to write I have feelings, some uptight I’m an animal, that’s alright I like venom, to feel the bite I like love, it’s out of sight I am caring, I’m a blight I write for me, not for this site I’m a free spirit, I am polite I’m nasty, when in a fight I’m not paranoid, when I recite My truth, will not show the light I am complex, I can self ignite I am a paragon, of everything trite I’m a hypocrite, don’t get a fright Also a genius, of all that’s sh ite By David Kavanagh

I like your piece. The rhymes seemed to flow naturally. One commenter call it “monorhyme“ (whatever THAT is) I’m not that technical and I usually avoid rhyme because I don’t think I’m good at it.

Heya Anais, I’m certainly no expert on forms of poetry either, in this monorhyme form each line just rhymes exactly from start to finish, your own free verse storytelling style works perfectly, it’s Uber-modern and fresh, thanks for stopping by, cheers David

Very good!! True! Excellent monorhyme!! Writing to express our own deep thoughts often makes a better poem than writing for a contest with its varied rules!

Contests can be restrictive Krish when our mood and interest is low, this one was pretty spontaneous, and I felt better for writing it, cheers David

To free your mind, to unwind is more than one needs to seek or find

Wise words, if we cannot find the satisfactory answers, may as well, try to free our minds, cheers David

Oh I’ve done a few of these self damning observational poems over the years Pangie, my mood dictate’s how I write on any given day, I’m not even religious, and I’ve no idea what underpins true reality, but hey I’m not asking anyone to adopt these abysmal qualities I see in myself when low, cheers David

This is a great poem, on so many levels. So, I'm getting to know you. I disagree with those who think that ego shouldn't appear in poems, that is just impossible! Isn't it?

Hey Anaya, we bantered plenty of times in the past, once over Kurt Cobain, and my lady labyrinth tribute poem, yeah a poem can appear dead without ego, I’d find it hard to write egoless just wouldn’t be me, cheers David

Very interesting piece of writing, David. You are laying it all out there in this thought-provoking poem. I thoroughly enjoyed this introspective romp with its very personal observations.

Always good now and again to spell it out Milt, I think my poem’s can come across as irrational or insane at times, but I’ve honestly no hidden agenda, other than exorcising my own demons, cheers David

Sounds like a down to earth guy who tells it like it is, would buy you a guinness anytime or maybe a drop or two of jamesons. Tom

Sold Tom, see I’m not that complicated at all, a pint and a small one, and all life’s problems disappear, for a short time anyway, next round is on me, cheers David

I admire your take on yourself. You can be all the things you've described depending upon your mood, but that's what makes your spirit unique. Not in a haunting sense, but in revelation... revealing yourself, and yet being obscure enough to make me want to open the door a tad more.

David Kavanagh
Date: 10/19/2022 7:38:00 AM

Mood is indeed the key word Jenna, It totally dictates my writing and me, perhaps the door will open a bit more in time, but I think more will come in rather than out, but that cannot be a bad thing, thanks so much for for your kind words, cheers David

David, I like the poem you wrote. It states the truth and is not arrogant in any manner! It is behaving authentically. David, you are the epitome of sincerity, truthfulness, and authenticity!

David Kavanagh
Date: 10/19/2022 7:20:00 AM

I certainly don’t deserve your accolades Lasaad, but I do like to ground myself every now and then, for I honestly know nothing about true reality, but I do know a lot about human behaviour, both good, bad, and ugly, thank you for stopping by today, cheers David

Genuine ,honest and very real David thats you! A hypocrite i think not? Love this poem as it speaks truth and is not conceited! Debx

David Kavanagh
Date: 10/19/2022 6:35:00 AM

Oh I think some of my poems are hypocritical Deb, probably by design for I try to cover the whole spectrum, so are bound to overlap at times, I really am a paradox even to myself, that’s probably why I don’t take myself too serious, such is the burden of poetry, cheers David

Living authentically ~ great write, David

Strange thing seeker, I’m authentic if nothing else, true to form, just take my poems as you find them, good bad rubbish or sad, for you never know what to expect from me, and neither do I, cheers David
