QMusings

I’m beginning to think that we all have poems inside ourselves.

We don’t let them out because we’re embarrassed.

We look at poetry as something only a chosen few can do. We believe that unless you’re one of the chosen, our poetry must be bad.

I think we need to give up this attitude and let our poetry spill out of us.

I think many of us want to!

Witness the fact that I tagged myself with Stretsh’s poetry meme just so I had an excuse to include a poem in my blog.

HMTKSteve read my post and has now included a poem on his site and warns us that he’s going to be sharing “more bad poetry” in the coming weeks.

I say, Bring It On!

I say that poetry isn’t for the chosen few, the elite, the blessed.

I say poetry is for all of us.

It’s Just For Me

I wrote a few lines
jumbled words, tried to rhyme
gave that up, is that a crime?

I write what I want to.
Hey, it makes sense to me.
You don’t like it?
So what.
It’s not for you, it’s for me.
I’m not selling it.
You don’t have to buy it.
This is my poetry.
It’s for me, not you.
It’s just for me.

Don’t wait to be tagged by a poetry meme to write a poem.

There is poetry inside you, it needs no excuse.
