If Im To Be Given A Chance To Read My Poems Poem by Iphupho The Dream

IF IM TO BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO READ MY POEMS

It's said that my poems are bizarre
For they are just words that are put together in creating a meaningful poem
If i had a chance to read my poems
Maybe i'd be a world's greatest poet..

I know
It take me more than a night toput apoem together
It takes more than just a pen & a paper
It breaks my heart to jota poem and told its not good enough..

Yes! It might not mean a thing to you
For it just a blue verse
It just linesrunning from one stanza to another
Maybe I'm not supposed to be a poet for i cannot rhyme

Take a drift!
Thousands of poets
Have their own way of writing
And i cannot be told my poems have no category
For i do not jot to categorize my work with them poets..

But if i could be given a chance to read my poems
Maybe i'd put in more rhymes
Metaphors
Simile
Idioms
Personification
So maybe the world would notice my talent as a black poetess..

But because im not given a chance To read my poems
Im no lyricist
Nor a rapper
But i am a sword writer and at anytime i shall rise and the world wil notice me......
