Being creative

Writer: Rose DonaldsonRose Donaldson

I'm trying to be creative, to take part in the modern arts

Join a poetry club they say blow all your troubles apart.

Now theres the first mistake Ive made,

I can't get very far, without rhyming every other line

I've really started below par.


Why can't my brain evolve to write a sonnet or two

I really should employ my grasp of english and produce a real Haiku.

Where to start and what direction, if only I could scribe

Like Wordsworth, Shellly ,Milton, or get the Maya Angelou vibe.


But I think I've realised the point of writing your thoughts down,

It doesn't really matter if you're serious or a clown.

If the words on paper resonate with others in your circle

Just keep it up and write some more......

Traditional poetry has too many rules for me. Run a search on the Net for writing modern poetry. I like to say that I am writing "free verse." Just keep focused on your message. I liked your poem very much.
