POETRY FOR POETS
(wrote itself without my consent- edition)


You know when you start a poem with a specific idea of how it will look and read. Then as the words flow onto the page the poem takes on it's own life and meaning. Well this is one of those, a poem that wrote itself, I'm sure not going to claim responsibility for it, it's not funny at all! 

Poetry
more organic than fertilizer
rooted in the **** of life
manure

flourishes
with moderate watering
but grows ragged and wild
intoxication

withers
with chemical pesticides
intended to eliminate the competition
defoliation

Poetry
more organic than fertilizer
lovingly tendered by life
blossoms

Jan Allison November 8, 2015 at 4:49 PM Made me smile Scott - i have no control over my pen ... i have been known to write the odd poop poem or is that a poem about poop I'm not sure lol but as long as they are read and this stuff continues to flow like written diarrhea I am happy she says tongue firmly in cheek lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich September 9, 2015 at 11:50 PM thanks for the visit today, Scott. You gotta get on the ball and write something! Scott Thirtyseven September 10, 2015 at 7:52 AM I'm waiting for my critics to reply to my last write, but they seem to have gone silent.

Eileen Manassian May 3, 2015 at 1:59 PM That's some write, Scott. I didn't quite go for the manure part, but sure was happy with the blossoming bit. :) Yes, poems do take a life of their own. Thanks for your visit to my poem on Richard.

Jill Spagnola April 22, 2015 at 4:04 AM I'd sure claim it! I'm all for being one of those blossoms. I dig it. Jill

Debbie Guzzi April 13, 2015 at 8:27 AM Wow Scott! good one - nice to take the 'governor' off once in awhile! Light & Love

Dan Kearley April 8, 2015 at 12:05 AM Wow! That is really something. I had to read it a few times. Isn't it amazing when that happens... The words just fall in place. Nice write.

Andrea Dietrich April 3, 2015 at 9:56 PM hey, there, Scott. still waiting for some new stuff from ya! Happy Easter, my friend.

Richard Lamoureux April 2, 2015 at 9:27 AM Hi Scott, thanks for your visit and encouragement.

Anne-Lise Andresen March 31, 2015 at 1:21 PM - Often it is the heart that determines .... and thoughts flying - I wish you a happy Easter , Scott :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Emile Pinet March 30, 2015 at 2:29 PM Very real feelings are allowed to wash over your thoughts and dull the edge of reality. Well written with wit and a pinch of irony. Emile. Scott Thirtyseven March 30, 2015 at 8:56 PM I'm so glad that the wit came through. I so want to write an amusing poem, but right now it feels as though it's just not happening.

Andrea Dietrich March 30, 2015 at 2:14 PM thanks for your comment on clothesline. I hope she does not mind one that is a bit humorous! It sure has no metaphors in it. Hi there, just saw your comment before going off. Have a great day!

Richard Lamoureux March 28, 2015 at 9:50 AM This is very good Scott, it came out smelling like roses!

Len Gasun March 25, 2015 at 11:34 PM This is an excellent write about poetry my very dear friend, Scott. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and i love it so much especially the last part. Thank you so much for sharing! love lots and biggest hugs, Leonora

Casarah Nance March 20, 2015 at 2:32 PM I enjoyed this! Been thinking about you, hope everything is okay... hugsxxx

Robert Lindley March 19, 2015 at 5:53 AM I start with an idea and an ending but rarely ever does the finish product resemble that. As I am writing my muse takes over and the end product produces itself. My best poems are those this happens to completely. Great write my friend! A7

Joe Maverick March 19, 2015 at 1:14 AM Hello Scot, and good to read this 'down to earth' piece of observation.. Poetry will find the way..! Keep well..'

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri March 17, 2015 at 12:39 AM Wow this was creative and a unique innovative way to describe poetry. Yeah poems sometimes seem to write themselves as they slip out of the mind onto the page, I know what u mean. Kudos Great to read u again.

Jack Horne March 15, 2015 at 4:31 PM I know exactly what you mean, mate - the shit of life line is just excellent

Robert Johnson March 8, 2015 at 6:26 AM I'm just going to ride on Charmaine's coat tails on this one. Thanks for growing some wild fruit.

Arthur Vaso March 6, 2015 at 11:10 PM Loved this, just rings so true and authentic and yes, sometimes when this happens, well they come out as the best one!

Jan Allison March 6, 2015 at 4:20 PM Made me smile Scott - I have no control over what I write I go with the flow can write sad then happy one after the other. My favourites were also the first and last... especially the first lol:-) Hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich March 6, 2015 at 12:38 PM a fun read!! My favorites were the first and the last!!

Charmaine Chircop March 6, 2015 at 9:51 AM Poetry-May those pesticides never be a ruin to our poetry.Poetry is indeed about our inner muses and voices.If it was about competing many poets would stop writing cuz there are only few who get to be always the winners.Ilove your poem..Its rooted in fertile soil and flourisheswith thoughts.Awesome : ) Robert Johnson March 8, 2015 at 6:24 AM I love your comment Charmaine.
