Poems
Jan 2016
I see no purpose in your poem
I see no purpose in your poem
One commenter told me
That it somehow fell short
He just had to scold me
But thatβs just the way I meant to
Leave the Reader wanting more
Not to mend a broken heart
Heal the sick or feed the poor
Or split apart an atom
Cause the sun to set or rise
Maybe yes, maybe no
Win a Pulitzer Prize?
My poems tell a story
In an epic or a wisp
Stands alone all on its own
Not conforming to your list
So I see no purpose in your comment
And just need to tell you
That poem of 17 syllables?
Itβs a simple Haiku
This was not someone on HP, but he taught me to think before I critique anyone's work.
