Ode To An Exit: the Tetractys Practice

All
Poets
Who believed
That they belonged
To a group of supportive free thinkers
And who believed that poetry was "FREE"
Just discovered
Their belief
Was a
Lie

What
Is all
Of the fuss
Really about
Or are you capable of honesty
Or is this about being upset
Because you are
No longer
At the
Top

Words
Belong
To any
Creative mind
Who can find something good to do with them
Who have a right to control their own words
And use those words
To connect
With their
Fans

Names
Are used
To describe
Poetry forms
That would exist without the labels
Because poetry does not need labels
To justify
If it is
Really
Real
