Premium Member No Poet

I write what I write
No Fear No Reason
I write what I write
to fit the season

I don't know genre
so don't have a fit
Knowing the form 
doesn't make it legit

I never studied 
to learn structure or form
so all that I write
may be labeled free form

I know this will exclude me 
from many contests
But I write what I feel 
in whatever context

All I can say is my best 
you may never see
online or posted
for public scrutiny 

If I were to learn 
to structure as I write
the message could change
you can't say I'm not right

It is what it is 
it is what you get
Know it comes from the heart
as the seasons see fit
