On the Subject of Writing Poetry

 

 

 I want to say this

with reverie

and grace.

 

I want it to tear you down

only to lift you up

and inspire.

 

I want to speak truth

through visions

that will only ever play out in your mind.

 

I want to take everything that you know

and turn it in upon itself,

twisting into unconscious melodies.

 

Maybe once you've lived my words

you'll reconsider or change... whatever.

If only I were a poet.

In a list

All I can say is that I hope you like it...

    lol, good use of irony here. I really enjoy your work.
    I think the word "ever" could be dropped, the melody in my mind skipped for a sec there.

    yah.
    for real.

    i think the more a writer knows about him/her self and/or the world around him [biology and other ologies'..] that instantly makes his poetry better.
    but the way which the message is conveyed is also very important..
