Purely my opinion But I really have to say I often don't understand it And I just want to convey... I feel lost in this world of "poetry" Often floundering and splashing In this ocean full of words Against the rocks I feel I'm crashing onto the beach that is the glossary of terms A-Z my head I'm bashing On the poems I often "heart" Others I end up quietly trashing Though I get a bit excited when my lightning sign is flashing That's when I start to think that maybe poetry feels... SMASHING! :-) Please tell me I'm not alone

HOW POETRY FEELS
Purely my opinion But I really have to say I often don't understand it And I just want to convey... I feel lost in this world of "poetry" Often floundering and splashing In this ocean full of words Against the rocks I feel I'm crashing onto the beach that is the glossary of terms A-Z my head I'm bashing On the poems I often "heart" Others I end up quietly trashing Though I get a bit excited when my lightning sign is flashing That's when I start to think that maybe poetry feels... SMASHING! :-) Please tell me I'm not alone
Finding some works pretentious, some confusing, some lively, some disturbing, some wonderful. It really is very subjective. Long live poetry (in all its many forms).
