We Poets

Missing image

 

 

 

 

Products of emotions gone wild,

we set a mood, to tell the world

who we are and why we act

the way, we do.

 

We dare to share bizarre dreams and

ideas, which boldly deviate from

the norm, only to be looked at

in an odd light.

 

We, a unique genus, perhaps identified by

many psychological indicators are

yet held in the minds of driven

Freudian fundamentalists.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

We poets are an odd sort.

    Unique and thoughtful. So there is an emerging ethos for poets to explain some things, fairly odd seeming things...this is well done with satire and intelligence...a fairly rare combination...Thank you for this fine entry into the contest and best of luck in the judging...PK

    Seems like ...

    your cheering section has covered just about everything I can think of to say here. I don't think I know any "Freudian" fundamentalists, although I do know some freaky ones. However, they are not poets.

    Anyway, intriguing write. I imagine Pamela likes it well enough.

    "bizarre dreamers; deviants". That's telling the mob what they know - but cannot truly appreciate!
    We poets are a "unique genus" - thanks for stating it so clearly and, as always, with elegance...
    Great poem!

    Good luck in the contest!
    Best, p

    yes, that's right, we poets are an odd sort...though if you can say "we poets" without wanting to giggle at the pretentiousness of it then I think you're missing the boat..not you though, Mj,I get the sense that you're laughing at yourself with this and I laugh with you

    Perception and honesty rolled into brevity.
    This one has an even tone of acceptance.
    Something to be appreciated by each creative soul.

    So true...

    your poem is a delight, for it is so truthfully cruel about us in one way and presents us as so unique in another way. I like it. It has the emotion and the idea, in a free verse form, which is poetic and well written.

    There are grand truths in these words dear poet. I enjoyed this so much and am pleased to see it in this contest.

    Your last stanza sums it up beautifully. Well done. ~Pamela
