Part Time Poet

My heart's renderings are shaded
in poetic images and creativity
yet, my mind languishes in the scrub of sad dirges
thus...I am a part-time poet
for the bell tolls not for my words
from thought in celebration
rather it tolls for graffiti I place before the public
I have called poetry

I was going to comment that this is not graffiti but art - but then I realized some graffiti is also art, as this glorious poem is - congratulations on your placement!

Your poetry is more than graffiti Frederic. Graffiti washes off 3 dimensional walls eventually , these are the caverns measureless to man, until the switch is turned off and then "your" words and "your" thoughts are filed in suspension somewhere for a 1000th generation in the future somewhere to open and decipher. This could be considered 'code' to a language and a species, ours or another. Footprints upon footprints upon footprints. History. No it's not 'graffiti' it's 'history'.
