Phumlani Mthethwa Poet I do not know?

Dictatorship

Who are you to say this is how I should write?
No rhyme scheme on this, but I just baked this frustration cake so have a bite
Seriously no categories, this is what my heart said I should recite
Certain poets claiming superiority, please that does not excite

Listen, I won't come down instead I will let these words forcefully flow on this site
I write what's in my heart, isn't that the reason for this site?
This is all I do to get past my dark days, so please don't tell me how to write
What I need is a comment that's just right

If i'm stepping on toes then we still have a long way before we get this dance just right
I'm in love with writing, interference and i'm ready to fight
So who are you to say this is how I should write?
Stop complaining and create your own site or just fly a kite

Whatever you do decide, don't interfere with the diversity of this site
I'm just pouring out my frustrations on top of the soup with no intention to fright

I don't go by the norms, that's just me being polite

Jerry T Curtis September 15, 2014 at 6:55 AM PM, I know how I feel when posting about a subject or though that I fear my be interpreted by others as negative, but I run that risk----I find controversy breeds more comments, because, by you speaking out from your heart, others will also---and that's Poetry, my friend. Phumlani Mthethwa September 15, 2014 at 7:16 AM Absolutely true Jerry, "controversy breeds more comments" I like that. Whatever exist in our hearts, we just need to say it. Thank you for your comment.

Ravi Sathasivam August 14, 2014 at 8:07 AM Excellent. Very expressive write. Enjoyed reading it. Tfs Phumlani Mthethwa August 15, 2014 at 3:46 AM Thank you so much for your kind comments.

Verlena S. Walker August 13, 2014 at 6:26 PM You views are important Phumiani. Dictatorship states that "you are not one to dictate; therefore, do not dictate to me. Let me be free to me." Enjoyed... Verlena Phumlani Mthethwa August 15, 2014 at 3:46 AM Thank you very much Verlena.

Sara Kendrick August 13, 2014 at 5:18 AM This one is very expressive work..It sticks to the point of the issue..If you desire to write just keep writing, you will learn different types of poetry on your own by reading others and trying to put it into a form if you want to do that or just go with the flow..Sara Phumlani Mthethwa August 13, 2014 at 5:39 AM I kinda feel bad I posted this one. Unfortunately I am one of those that cannot verbally get their views across but writing is an alternative way of doing that. Therefore I cannot afford to have this door closed. Thank you for your comment Sara.
