Your Question About Poetry Poem by Herbert Nehrlich
Your Question About Poetry
You asked if my poetic skills
would be what an emetic fills
namely a basin of foul smelling
regurgitate, there is no telling
what someone sees in poetry
for me it's what the gods decree
somewhere the talent lies and sleeps
until the time comes where he keeps
it under wraps no longer, hidden
and out it comes, at times unbidden.
Poetic skills are not for all
some do prefer the shopping Mall
but those who can appreciate
and joyfully do contemplate
a poem as it lives and loves
the subject can be hawks or doves
those are the ones with open hearts
and they take in this art of arts.
Herbert, I really hate the first four lines of your poem...but then it gets better. That image hangs around, though, and detracts from the rest. Raynette
poetic excellence comes from learning how others write their poetry and getting to know how one is born different writes differently but yet able to appreciate the difference in others the rain comes down in so many ways
