I Sometimes Wonder

I SOMETIMES WONDER I sometimes wonder, just where does my poetry comes from As, I just write the words, and then watch the poem become Whilst standing at the kitchen sink, I think up all my funnies Is it wrong as to be thinking of six foot white flamin' bunnies Then, Jack, running through the park wearing but just a Mac Since, when have I ever been known for showing others tact I would have liked to have been quality, rather than quantity Instead, I just come across to all as so just overly commonly There are those here; who really, just know, the poetic score Alas: thoughts of iambic, metering, and feet, to me just bore There is no teaching; this old dog now, any new poetic tricks As I ponder my new poetic write, as eating my fish and chips Indiana Shaw . . . : '

Well, I for one enjoy your poems, Indiana, and sometimes I wish there were no such things as poetry forms. I doubt seriously that the great poets of the past paid much attention to them. But, I don't know. I suppose they invented them? Poetry Soup has been like a poetry school for me.

Awww, cheers Milts, as I enjoy yours, still have no idea when forms were invented, but, it is clear to see how they emphasize a poem, though a lot are just beyond me, on Poetry Soup, we do indeed learn a lot from each other . . . ; )
