Cliche- The Poet's Guilty Pleasure

Missing image


I wrap my words around your mind
like a lovers embrace
swaying  your thinking
Forming verses that blossom like
Roses in the heat of Summer
Seeming original, but
in reality, commonplace,
like the dew on their petals

Eyes twinkling like the night stars
you read in amazement
my capabilities as a poetess
Pulling at your heart strings
I entice your senses with curiosity
wondering what inspired my thoughts
Unaware that my process has been
intertwining quotes heard a million times
Lost in the forever of yesterday
weaving them into a tapestry of today

    As happens with most of the poems I get in this contest, it's never quite what I'm expecting. Great job with this nonetheless. You make a poet seem like a magician, with that kind of "you only see what I want you to see" mentality. Showing someone something that sounds great while hiding the fact that it's been done before. Nicely done, thanks for entering and good luck.

    BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

    I believe we all do this, take ideas and write of them a little differently by using our own thoughts on them.
