The Kind of Poet I am
Some people would say I have no style
kinder ones say I have no particular style
some people would say I have no class
kinder people could say He's in his own class
I consider myself to be classless
but certainly not ass-less
I'm a workhorse
I am a war horse
sometimes a wounded horse
but never a donkey
I am a dreamer
wide-eyed like a lemur
sometimes a screamer
but never a monkey
I enjoy offending
I am not for bending
sometimes pretending
but never clunky
I am irreverent
and such a discontent
sometimes irrelevant
but never all spunky
with rules, I do not comply
I am high on my own supply
but sometimes I cry
but never a junkie
I'm happy and sad
the good and the bad
joyless and glad
I am not jack the lad
I am Angelina's Brad
I put the mad into mad
annoying a tad
cool and rad
old man and lad
a hope that was had
I once was a dad
but that was a fad
I am so not a cad
in armor, I'm clad
I'm a poet for all seasons
with all the right reasons
to know it

we all must break the rules and assert our individuality, "Poetry without self does not create in the reader an emotional response, nor should it!"
thank you for your constant support It means so very much to me :-)))))

You've really raised the bar in the comp with his one David!
I'm feeling like I should delete my entries as they pale in comparison.
Excellent ink!

I couldn't leave without a comment. I was into to every line of this poem.
David, I love the way this poem flows. My favorite lines "
I'm a workhorse
I am a war horse
sometimes a wounded horse
but never a donkey "
I give this a perfect 10 score
