Glarin' Through The One Way Windows

As I glare through the one way windows in my head
I will run no more from the innuendos I so dread
The day a man endows more than a tiny thread
Is the day a mere mutt overshadows a purebred
To the simply sensory systems of some, this may seem complex & ahead
But I expect to perplex subjects who think like objects & let this spread!
Switch the rhyme scheme instead, one who lacks the gleam fails my dissects
Let the unsaid no longer be unread & lets focus on the right subjects!!!

    Superb

    Your poetry is so fun, and so easy to read. I hate reading poetry that you have to read a line over and over before you actually read it right. Your poetry flows straight through from begininng to end, I haven't struggled with any of your poems thus far. and I am sure I won't. Great write, you are so intelligent. It shines through your poetry.

  • Interesting

    It's pretty cool, a tiny bit confusing but I like he mutt line. Your poem definately (probably spelled wrong) shows truth in how some peopl can feel. It may need some work...

    Deep and thoughtful

    This is truly a deep poem, with some strong meanings. I don't understand all of it, but I can relate to the first 2 lines, and i really like the last line. Its philosophical, and I cant wait to read more of your writings. P.S. thanks for the comment on my poem

    You are a thinker, aren't you??? This poem made me chuckle, which is quite uncommon. I admire you for standing up for being yourself. I may not be a rule breaker -poetry is so ingrained in me that I don't even think about it- but I diffenately like to see poems that think 'outside the box'. Way to go.

  • complex

    I feel like an idiot saying this... but I'm guessing that a true understanding of the third line will unlock the sixth and eighth lines of this poem, and thus, the entire poem in general. I feel like an idiot simply because I didn't understand any of those lines I mentioned! I maybe deciphered them partially. You are much smarter than I would have guessed, sir.

  • love it.
    also, i like the different line lengths because i never follow any rules, or use any particular format.
    very nice.

    Well I must say you are brilliant...I compare you to an artist that wants to make his own statement on the canvas...to be his own person! You will find yourself as you write...Do not stop penning, and in doing so like the artist I try to be, you get critiques and encouragement...Keep penning!

    You have talent, always continue to write whatever you feel

    Great poem, I am a fan of Rhyming and freeverse so you are a great writer and just keep writing until your hearts content, great poem!!!

    Breaking rules of traditional format is not uncommon, and seems to be preferred as the 'modern' way of writing. I think it depends on the write, as to whether free verse appears more apprapriate than rhyme and meter. You will find your comfort zone soon enough. A good write...alby

  • I can tell you have talent but I am not a fan of rhyme personally...that said, this was still good but I believe you'd write better doing freeverse.

    "To the simply sensory systems of some"

    That alliteration is wonderful!! Nice work!

    I imagine this poem being read out with Jazz music being played in the background and cigarette smoke hanging in the air...
