Declaration of Conception

Declaration of Conception:
(Books are life)




Syringe of knowledge
Injected into my vein
           Before birth
           In the womb
           After death
           In the tomb.

Page after page
Read into memory
           Of adventure,
           Of emotion
           Of history
           Of devotion.

Some cryptic
A few are elliptic
           Tis an affliction
           Cannot be stopped 
           Literary addiction
           A high not topped.

Any concept dabblers’ Magnum Opus

(Continuation) - Every poem is a part of the poet who wrote it and being 'mean' to a poet, just because you don't understand deeper meanings, shows your ignorance of the art form. If you really dislike a poem, keep it to yourself because there are many more people out there who do enjoy it. People who do this are doing it for attention. Period. This is just my opinion.

After reading the comments, I am confused as to this person. Sylvia. Obviously, I don't have enough information to comment specifically. This comment is for those reading your work, not you: Poetry is a subjective and creative art form. There is no such thing as 'good' or 'bad' poem. (cont.)

You, Sylvia are a truly confused individual. You should seek therapy.

Amy, your writing is brilliant my friend. I like the flow and style of this poem... truly unique and wonderful is this piece. Ignore what isn't worthy of your reply dear one... it's for 'attention' that the immature and desperate seek it. ;) keep doing what you do! I'm a fan of you. xo

What is wrong with you? What an incredibly rude statement you made. If you do not like something someone wrote- then don't say anything. Of course, having read yours, I don't think you'd know the difference between poetry and rap... Keep on a wtritin' them there country songs ole girl- next time, put down the beer.
