Joe Inka Poet Couplet

Sweet N' Simple

You needn't be a visionary
To spout your verse from a dictionary
Ignore all of those recommending
That your lyrics need seem condescending
To yourself you must stay true
For the masses, I'm sure, would rather know you.

Michelle Mac Donald February 18, 2011 at 5:16 AM "Sweet n' Simple" sounds good to me, Joe! Complicated leads off to more complexities, then one will fall off track. Stay well, keep happy, and be your own wonderful self! Love, Mikki

Carolyn Devonshire February 15, 2011 at 2:23 PM Well said, Joe. I prefer to read poems that don't have words I have to look up in a dictionary. I'm seeing a lot of the "true" you lately and am happy to get to know you through poetry. Love, Carolyn
