Some people think that poetry should be grandiose
Words made to flow like fine wine
They believe that it should seduce the senses
And entice all to enjoy their reading time
Though I agree on many a point
I believe words were meant to free flow
Fro regardless of how they first appear
Creativity comes from the heart as you know
So while some of my works might fail scholars
Or those who think that they are experts on style
I prefer to think that writing should be unrestrained
For the substance of words can bring a smile
Who can truly say what is good or not
Is it those who profess to know more than we?
Just remember that a single person once decided
What should be considered the best for us to see
But I like black and maybe you blue
Our tastes are as different as there are beings
How can anyone tell us what we should like
Especially when a single word can cause many feelings?
I write for myself and for some others as they come
My words flow from thought to my hand
I really don’t mind if they are liked or not
For me their creation alone is all very grand
Though I do like some more than the others
Simply because of what they mean or say
I trust you read them and have favorites as I do
And hope that they bring joy to your day
