I Prefer Those Daring To Just Write

I Prefer Those Daring To Just Write I prefer my poetry very raw and real giving life and emotion to be seen A prize, a parade - the real deal not words delivered merely to preen Stand back and give true strokes reactions,good or bad are alright Do that,touching the right folks deep pleasure for we that write! I prefer my poetry easy and deep a young sparrow about to fly Sad that will make your heart weep so damn tragic makes you ask why Or Love in any of its many forms dead,lost or in sweet display Forget the cry for all the norms be daring, do it your own damn way! I prefer rejection over false yays a poet must say,look into my soul There could well be millions of ways to arrive at the true and right goal Give poetic words that sing a dance swimming in our big hearts and ears Matters not if its all about romance or dark tales of our greatest fears! I prefer those daring to just write or ask the reader to think very deep Shoot words strong and out of sight sing out, laugh , dance or even weep A poet often cries,eat into my Soul see what happens when we write pain Tear our hearts out and stomp the hole no heart,no sacrifice we reap no gain!
