If You Dare Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg
If You Dare
Although I’m fond of poetry.I find
the modern free form style lacks appeal for me.
I prefer disciplined formality
because I think it clarifies my mind
I chose my words, so my thoughts are well defined.
I cannot claim impartiality
nor dare I quote any authority.
All poetry I think should be designed
to serve some purpose which is clear to see.
Some train of thought the poet wishes to share.
Something he has seen in reality
or high flown fantasy beyond compare.
This is the art of writing poetry
To prove that you can do it, you must dare.
I agree completely... I don't know what some of these people are talking about but its nice to find something so straight and to the point
Now here you have written a great piece Ivor, I found this a lovely read and so well put together. I thoroughly agree with its sentiments. A pleasure to find. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

All our work shouts. Whether it's three simple lines, or a mountainous piece telling everyone our life story. I like what I've read so far Mr Hogg, you write with a sensible passion.
