Scott Gil Biography

I am a law student after spending years on the other side of the law. I love the law, it's like figuring out a puzzle, never boring, or dull, and I am always excited to learn something new. Off to do homework. I never went to H.S. so I missed out on grammar, never understood poetry hence my poem 'The Great List'. If I ruffle some feathers with the pen poem, good they need to be ruffled. I'm sick and tired of those heartless bastards making our world the way it is today. As a Christian, i will go back to the Old Testament and take on all comers with a towel on. I know that isn't Jesus like but a man or country can only take so much.)

The Best Poem Of Scott Gil

The Great List

When do you make the line breaks
who knows what to do or what it takes
Is it Iambic, a sonnet, or prose,
or is it Haiku, who knows?
What makes a great poem
a person who sits at home all alone
how do you become a great poet
to write in the abstract and not know - it
maybe write about sunsets and landscapes
or 18th century antiques and pretty drapes
become an English major, read the classics
or write about today's problems & be sarcastic
after many years - you might get on the great list
amongst all the great poets not in our midst
like Whitman, Frost, Yeats and Poe
Edgar loved dreary topics we all know
your work might get noticed when you are dead
as you thought, who will appreciate me with dread.
