I love poetry of all types. Some I understand, some I don’t. Some I can write, some I can’t, even though I try. Here’s a humorous rant about the type of poems I have a hard time writing. My preferred style is mostly gloomy and doomy, new agey, or funny. Is there a glimmer of truth to this one…probably, but that doesn’t mean I won’t keep trying them. 🙂 Hope you get a laugh from my poetry rant.

POETRY RANT
Just can’t do the flowery crap
The oohs and ahhs, and all that pap
Sweetie the words, and sentiments gooey
Just can’t do all that hooey
The words too sweet, it makes my teeth ache
Just can’t write it, for goodness sake
I’d feel overdosed, like a frosting drenched bakery
Just can’t pen words that smack of fakery
Don’t make me, don’t urge me, and please don’t wheedle
Just might as well stick my eye with a needle
It’s all fine and good, if that’s your persuasion
Just not for me – on any occasion
