And Then the Music Stopped
Just like this familiar song
That was never sung in tune, 
Tell me, “Where do I belong?“ 

Scrolling this random playlist
Unplayed in my memory, 
Bringing weight on my crumped chest.

As boring as this classic melody, 
Everything became stodgy--
Music stopped in tragedy....

Premium Member Those Rebel Poets
Remember all those rebel poets
    and their bizarre ways
  How they spooked their stodgy elders
    with contra-poetic displays

  Dispensing with meter and flow, accent and rhyme
    penning metaphor-less, image-free lines
  Treating verse as a curse and a sonnet much worse
    vulgarities popping up like landmines..

  Well, it's gotten worse instead of better

Poetry Is
Poetry is an expression that should come from within
Unencumbered by stodgy rules that are meaningless to the masses
If as a poet you feel it important to follow the course developed by others
God’s speed to you in your endeavor but ask yourself one important question
Do you feel comfortable that the originality of your works is yours and yours alone? 
Or does doubt creep into your mind as you apply a template not of your own making?...
