A Simple Man

I haven't got a university degree, My poems, are what I think, just me! There are no meanings hidden in the words, what I write I hope makes the meaning clear, They show my thoughts, my dreams and the things that I fear. I listened to a poetry show, where people read out rambling poems, with hidden meanings and long lines of so called prose, I was bored, they meant nothing to me I guess, I suppose I'm just simple, it makes my ignorance clearly show, The host of the show got very excited and went on about what the poem meant, But as I am a simple man, I write for enjoyment and for me, so I am going to carry on, if you like my poems or not I am very content. So you read your stanza's and poems with a set amount of lines, And if you read mine and like them, that's great, but it doesn't matter if you don't because they are just mine!!

well written. l write for me too, it allows my thoughts to be expressed into words that want to be set free. And no one can in-prison or take away those words as they are ours, and that makes us free. Thank you for sharing your poem. J
