What I Write

Apparantly i should have a style I don't know about that... Sometimes I feell like Sylvia Plath; Sometimes Robbie Burns. But all the time I feel like me - And my mood. Does that make me a lesser poet? I don't know... But I do know That I May feel sad one day But happy the next. It's a conundrum! So many poets So many styles... Sometimes feels like An 'Unquiet Grave'.

I like this Allen! Some people put too much emphasis in trying to figure out what a poet's style is that they deflect from the poem. I say a poet's style is like an idiosyncracy- no two people can speak exactly the same, no two poets can write the same. Thus whatever you write at a particular time, that's your style. Nicely done this!
