Morgen Farmer Poet Rhyme

Poet Or Storyteller

I chose to identify as a poet
But these images are mere stories 
Where my heart asks to tell about 
All of the greats before me
Had a hard time with this

The mellow breeze calms me
I'm sitting alone in this park 
Perfecting pieces of life into art
These words are fond of me
So I must talk about them 

So might I ask I'm I 
A poet or a storyteller 
You decide I'll abide 
Excuse me I must tend to
The woman and her child 
Telling their stories of crossfire

White Wolf January 10, 2017 at 9:26 PM Excellent dear Morgen! To me, a poet can convey a story in a few verses where a storyteller needs a book! Of course, that being said I enjoy both in their unique ways. But I have to admit I do prefer poetry rather than reading a book! Short attention span! Haha.. I really enjoyed this one. Morgen Farmer January 15, 2017 at 1:48 AM Right with you there haha! Poetry is like painting, except we obsess with words haha

Probir Gupta January 8, 2017 at 6:04 AM We come across nice colours of emotion in your stories ... and emotion gathered into a stanza is definitely poetry ... enjoyed much your work ... Morgen Farmer January 8, 2017 at 7:13 PM Exactly probir thank you very much!

John Fleming January 8, 2017 at 4:54 AM I agree with, Adeniji, when he says "A remarkable craft". However, as W H Yeats once remarked in one of his poems, it can also be remarkably hard work! Nicely espoused, Morgen...Keep faith...And keep up the good work! All the very best! :) john Morgen Farmer January 8, 2017 at 7:14 PM Thanks John, it's very much hard work indeed!

Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon January 8, 2017 at 2:29 AM A remarkable craft, Morgen. 'Perfecting pieces of life into art' is one of those most beautiful things on earth. I love this beauty. Morgen Farmer January 8, 2017 at 7:13 PM Thanks Adenji!
