This is not aimed at SOUPERS. I think you're super poets! in fact i'd rather read work from many of you than from classic writers. But, have you ever felt like you were being pushed away from the heart of your work, when your heart is your work. That's what this poem is about. RAY
sure
i can write a line or two
and rhyme it like some poets do
i can even
think of something sweet
to share with pen and ink
and i have time to dare
but poets true poets
"must have a darkness
in their hearts"
or so that is
I have been told
and who writes these rules
“create a separate stanza”
“I don’t like the rhyme”
“this is sweet but
why did you make
it look so neat”
“you use too many capitals
there’s almost one
in every line”
yes
and when i sign my books
I use three
R-A-Y every time
And as for darkness
I am not vader
when I scratched this rant
the w h o l e room
filled
with
light
