Short Lyricists Poems

I am a person who writes poems
I am a person who posesses a specialty with writing poems
I am a person, a poet , troubador who loves poems
I am a person a lyricists who writes poems 
I am a person who rhymes with ease that leads to poems
I am a person, more of a poet with a gift and want to share my poems...

There’s not much music in poetry now,
the poets have taken an austerity vow,
thread-bare lines, no rhythm or rhyme,
con-man words, artistic pantomime?
Lyricists shunned, unless rocking a mike,
It’s not what the Professors like!
Too confused by much now written,
Like abstract art, the critics smitten
by works that display very little skill,
I'd rather view Andrew Wyeth’s hill....

lyricists are heaven sent
while poetry is the height of language
it does not touch the heart
as do the millions of songs
on a daily basis
that is because the heart is simpler
an organ than the brain
add delightful music
millions become unafraid to sing
and if we poets are to be honest
truth be told that Shakespeare
in all of his tavern days never heard
that's me on the jukebox

I got a mountain bike 
it sits on my side porch
it sits under a torch 
it should go on  a hike 

I got free beans from Mike 
There’s three beans in my  jeans 
That I’ve had since my teens
or since I was a tike 

bought a psych trip to Wyke
I didn’t take my beans
left them on the side porch 
all alone with the bike
