Mayhem Poetry Form

I do not know the different forms of poetry
To be honest I have no desire to ascertain
So many forms and so complicated
To much confusion for my lazy brain!

I just like to write my thoughts down
A combination of heart and mind
About life and all it encompasses 
Usually in a rhyme

I love reading poetry
Be it fiction or the real deal
Humorous, heartfelt, serious, dark, 
All topics and opinions on how poets feel
 
I respect poets who love a challenge 
Who appreciate the varied poetry forms 
But for me just reading the names of them
Leaves my brain all tattered and torn!

Qawwali, Jueju ,Concrete
Munajat, Vogon,Tyburn, Grook
Only a handful of many 
Like words out of a science fiction book!!

My personal preference is to keep it simple
Avoiding forms like Diamanté or Suzette Prime
Continuing to pen my poems
In just good old fashioned Rhyme !

I agree with you, my friend. Just write what you write. Keep on being you.

YEE HAW! Hey, Nail, allow me to introduce your head to this hammer. Brilliantly put, Deb. You might as well have reached into my head and stole my thoughts… hmm, maybe you should overlook some of what you found there. ;-) A1 write my upside down friend. Terry X
