Poem Picked Apart Poem by Ima Ryma

Poem Picked Apart

Rating: 4.8


I am a poem that I wrote
Myself in olden place and time.
A lot of love stuff I did quote
And forced each line to end in rhyme.
I called myself Anonymous,
And for a while that was okay.
But then critics began to fuss
As I was read in modern day.
I did become a subject of
Scorn and ridicule daring to
Be of a rhyming way for love.
Complaints of me as poem grew.

So I rewrote myself free verse.
But now the criticism's worse.

It's best to rhyme... most of the time!

It is sad that some feel the need to critize a piece of art. Ìma, you've penned nearly three thousand poems; you must be doing something right.

It's hard to be a poet, emotionally and otherwise

So you try to be nice and compromise and you still lose in a quick and empty spin.

When poem is published, it goes to the hands of critiques. They may shower you with praise or criticism and a poet should be ready to face both. Your poems are beautiful and seems to come naturally.
