Like a Shakespearean sonnet it’s tragically written, but it’s no tragedy
Nor novel, journal entry, or even biography
It’s not an adventure, no action, no horror, no drama
It’s not very entertaining, like a speech from Obama
It has no family or friends, it’s all alone.
It’s nothing special, just a poem…
It’s not up, it’s not down, no smile nor frown
It won’t make a man famous or a king lose his crown
It can’t make a nomad settle forever or a hermit leave his home
It’s nothing special, just a poem…
It’s hideous not beautiful like a flower
It’s boring like staring at a wide white wall for an hour
It doesn’t smell delicious like an apple pie
It’s not even funny enough to make you cry
It’s not new, but old, chiseled out in stone
It’s nothing special, just a poem…
It’s not chaotic like Ragnarok, or calm like the sunrise
It’s not angry, happy, or sad, there’ll be no tears in your eyes
It has no meaning, the author will never be known
After all it’s nothing special, just a poem…

Poetry is written art
or spoken words from the heart.
I've brought a different outlook
composed inside my poetry book.
With every word comprising lines
I've spent a lot of emphasis and time.
Continuously growing and planting seeds
producing poems I'd love to read.
You may decide to critique
but you can't deny that it is unique.
You can't deny it is written well
even if it is controversial.
I know that you will fall in love
with the style and humor displayed above.
I instill personality
in each and all of my poetry.
I want my books to demonstrate
the thoughts I've longed to captivate.
To show my thinking cap is on
and take the market by a storm.
I wish for it to comfort you
until As I See It, part 2.
