Poems,Forms and Genres

Please don't ask me what form my poem is
All I know is that I write
I hum when I do so
Always have,
since my cold nights in boarding school where I woke up in the middle of the night 

            Just to write

Please don't ask me what forms my poems are
Because when I write, am like a free bird 
I let my mind take me places, only I will ever feel
My heart, my emotions and my passion is the force behind my pen

      When my pen is dancing,any style can go down

Please don't ask me
Because all I know is: Bio because my poems are about my life
Verse because I feel songs are like poems
Pros because I relate that to long poems
Rhyme, now that's easy

G'day Njeri... I like your message in this poem Njeri. We all deserve to have the freedom to write in any fashion we like and let someone decide what genre it is. Well said - Lindsay

my favourite line - 'When my pen is dancing,any style can go down' oh how i can relate to this wonderful image - a 7 from me:-) I have only been writing just a year and am learning new forms every day - whatever the form the most important thing is to be able to express yourself and your emotions:-) hugs jan xxx
