WRITERS AND POETS

A Poem by Relic

.

Writers and poets, come, pick up your pens,

explore any phrase that you find.

Share with us stories that we've never read,

expressed through each word in your mind.

Try to create original poems,

in meter or verse that is free.

Whether it's humor or simply absurd,

will not make a difference to me.

Memorize sentences, work to the bone,

decline any slumber or nap.

Then, when you're through,

I'll express praise to you,

If not, then it's probably crap.

Author's Note

Note to self: I changed the first line in the second stanza because of the plagiarism that has reared its ugly head the last few days. (1/23/15)

Thank you to Richard for helping me with the meter.

I'll never neglect you Avy, haha Thanks.

A clear message to all of us poets, and wise. You're not satisfied easy, (like me) well, I know I write crap sometimes, and full of errors, but I work to the bone, for it like it should, in your language, and I love to be here, surrounded to beautiful poets like you to learn from! and that's how it should be. Sarcastic beauty in this poem, humor, and your true yearning for being inspired by better writes now and then ;) loved it...

Falling Leaf.

Haha! The ending made me smile. There are some things needing fixing here, though. In the third to last line, your needs to be you're. Also, the first line of the second stanza, you should rewrite it as follows: "Seek out, summon," that semicolon is grammatically incorrect. Anyway, well done.
