The Poem We Cannot Write

The poem we can`t write Make it clear poetry is redundant poets write verses packed in wool only other poets can understand, they are usually about love and peace but no one is listening. There are of course nationalistic poets who advocates war they are listening to and often recited by politicians. ***** spiritual music called the blues are the poetry of the oppressed the rest of us write pedestrian poems are forgotten. So forget that you can write poetry that is not based on the suffering of the soul.

...yessir...age a bit and see the direction of time is all directions....our time 'direction' constant (that is, what's predictable) if we're lucky is just over a 50/50 probability....the rest is mistakes .....or 'miss takes'....a so-called mathematical 'goddess' by/from which most learn what's actual and what's just a so-called 'reality'......stan sand

The greatest of poems have been written on suffering, it plainly cannot be ignored . . .

Hello Jan Hansen, I want to speak my mind here, I have something to say.All poets and poetess do not create a poem the same way. We all choose our own different topics for poetry. Have a nice day my friend.
