A Poets Duty

Duty: Obligation

A poets duty is to him or herself to write their thought’s
We have no obligation to anyone but our hearts
Although my thought’s you do inspire, so I do have a duty to you
We walk among the living dead searching for there thought’s
Transferring them into ours then creating new ones
Poetry is not complicated unless you complicate it
Poetry is: 

KISS

K-Keep
I-It
S-Simple
S-Stupid

Hi Bobby, I agree with Jan. You have penned such wise words. Your “ Kiss” acrostic put a huge smile on my face. I have really missed your poetry. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful evening my friend:-) Alexis
