Humans, Always Wanting To Fly
Concrete,
Cracks.
Giving opportuninty for growth.
Fractured.
Isn't all poetry pretentious?
Self centered lines.
Let's not pretend.
They were written for anyone more than self.
For if they were not, we'd speak plainly instead.
Conman,
Cracks.
Giving opportunity to counter.
Fragile.
It seems i'm contracted.
I am disease.
Not the contractor.
Build yourself of debt, conserving your new shiny cage.
For if you didn't, why have we yet to evolve wings?

you're right poets can be ego maniacs
thinking anyone should care to read what we think
still while this is true I do enjoy reading others
I am inspired by other poets and feel not so alone in my thoughts...
interesting write...
love Brenda ❤

Absolutely. Me too. I enjoy others more, to see inside their heads and how their brains work. Much better than my own.

What is poetry except the most ego-filled expression of ourselves and the way we view and interpret the world around us? I think the pretense you speak of comes in when we express our ego-centric view and expect or even demand our reader find our specific meanings.
There is a joy or sense of validation that comes from expressing ourselves and our most intimate thoughts and emotions and finding others who read those words and truly “get” what you’re trying to say. Pretense can be borne of that need to be validated as well.
I like this one a lot ♥️

Yeah i picture the caricature of a poet, "when does it mean to you?...... no that's all wrong." Lol
Which is wrong and right. It is us in our words, trying to paint our own observations.
And i don't think poets actually do that sort of thing outside of Hollyweird. Lol.
But if you want someone else to see a mountain from words, describe it.
But i want to write about how the mountain makes me feel.
I sound like I'm describing something everyone already knows. Lol. My bad.
But yeah, when someone comes along and feels the same way as i do about the mountain, or even differently, it's cool to have that bonding moment over feelings.
