Arrogant Thought of the Day

by Corinne   Jan 27, 2009


To read a poem
Is to enter the writer's psyche
That is why I seek out
The well written ones
Otherwise, one has to slag
Through the muck of cliche
The mire of worn out phrase
And nothing is truly learned
No "ah-ha" moments of
"Yes, me too"
No "Mmmms of recognition
I can tell with a glance
If the piece is worth my attention
If the words are of the
Moon June variety
I've got to move on

To read a poem
Is to enter the writer's psyche
So what
Have you learned
About me today?

    I haven't learned anything, I already knew that your writing is poignant, intelligent and honest : ) It's becoming increasingly difficult to find something original and cliche free on this site. Have a great day.
