Poetry Is

Poetry is an expression that should come from within
Unencumbered by stodgy rules that are meaningless to the masses
If as a poet you feel it important to follow the course developed by others
God’s speed to you in your endeavor but ask yourself one important question
Do you feel comfortable that the originality of your works is yours and yours alone? 
Or does doubt creep into your mind as you apply a template not of your own making?
