The Poet

I'm going to keep this poem simple.

Heavy hearted yet nimble.

It will not be profound nor the usual sound.

Embrace this style of cadence.

Let it displace what you once knew.

Let it erase what you once knew.

Let it be a new face.

Let it be the new race.

I'm the odd poet standing out.

I'm the flawed poet trying to sprout.

I'm hanging by a thread in a bout.

Searching for someone to come and get me out.

Needs edits on misspellings...but i like it. It is pretty simple and straightforward but at the same time, some clever rhyme and a nice beat to it.
split up "heavy hearted" and where you used "new" in two lines, should be "knew"--

and i think most poets start out with simple...i know i did...
all poetry has a reason...it is about getting the creative flow started.

the new renewal of the knew you thought you have known is not always knowledge earned but known truth is never the norm you know what i mean. yes yes yes like those lines cadence, structure and rhymes

We all have to start somewhere. I didn't write my first poem until I was forty. I wonder now why I waited so long. Let those words spill on the page in whatever form you so desire. I liked where you took me.

I love this poem. Almost like being the "black sheep" among poets.

Hello Renaye, thanks a lot for reading and reviewing the poem. I think I might change the title to "black sheep," it seems more fitting, hahaha.
