The Value of Simplicity In Poetry

God, I am but a mere poet. Heaven knows, I show it. Not here to wash poets in the grand waves of the Sea of Thesaurus. Speaking for myself and others,it really bores many of us. Nor in imagery so grandiose there are too many of those! Like an uncontrollable, garden hose. I just try to be honest and clear! No tricks, no zaniness like a runaway, deer. I keep my poems short I do respect your time. You will find truth, I do promise. No falsehoods of any kind! 4/15/2021

Hello Panagiota, when a poem is way too long I read it for awhile. then i quit because I lost the meaning of the poem being too long. Hugs Darlene xx

One should be able to read and enjoy a poem without having to keep looking in a dictionary to look up words. Tom

I agree! Not everyone has humongous vocabularies. Worse, some are reading as though driving through a stormy road. Weeds, downed trees...,I cannot even read it. A sonnet form or blank verse keeps us on the path. 30 line Poems? NO...like being lost in the woods. Pangie. Xx
