The question I'm asked all the time
is why is it my poems don't rhyme
the answer is easy you see
that style doesn't appeal to me
I speak the thoughts in my mind
which are often quite hard just to find
if you look just to find the measure
you will certainly miss the treasure
chaotic eruption of thought
feelings explode into words
images composed in the mind
flashes of insight beyond intent
deeper meanings reveal themselves
hidden away beneath the surface
most unintended when written
subconscious message to conscious
this is a secret I freely will share
the meanings I didn't put there
reveal things even to me
that I didn't imagine to be
messages mixed between the minds
the private speaks to the public
amazing the hand that wrote them
too productive to be an accident
a new revelation on the journey....
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

Point well made. Today's revelation opened my mind. I hope it opens those of others.
ReplyDeleteSome of your verses here rhymed very well! I especially like the second stanza.
