Am I a Poet?

by Khalid M Darwish   Jul 16, 2012


Look out!
I'm the Poet!
It's Me
the hostage of the poem
carrying my basket full of poems
Construction of a poem is like a puzzle game
Sooner or later, you'll be ready with your poem
Whatsoever is the idea, whosoever is my poetry angel
It's only me the author of my poem and therefore
I can be the shadow of that angel
though I've never known an angel
having a shadow but only wings
Effects and actions I add to a poem
resemble spice and salt added to food
Look in my Piggy bank thoughts
for my poetry constituents
You'll find many things
a little dream
some actions
tears
and
a broken heart

  • Is this piece meant to be shaped like the angel you write about? If so, nicely achieved.

    'the hostage of the poem'

    ^^ an interesting line, which rings somewhat true. We capture ourselves, our lives, within our words - we knowingly encase our thoughts, feelings, memories all in our poems.

    I particularly loved the ending... >

    ^^ It was especially good with the final words of: 'a broken heart'

    Fantastic write. 5/5

    I like the shape of the poem!

    Sometimes poetry does feel like a construction of some type especially if we do formed poems or the shapes like you just did.

    I enjoyed the read!

    This is interesting and very cleverly set out. I took the shape to be your poetry angel actually. This is how I saw it with the wings spread out.

    Nice work. x

    You're absolutely right! That was my poem 'Poetry pyramid'. Thanks for your lovely comment.

    Surprisingly, I had the feeling like I read the piggy bank of thoughts somewhere, or that I read this poem before. Perhaps, you post this before or use that one another of your poems.

    Any who, I like it. The shape looked like a trophy. it was interesting. And the way, you ended it with broken heart, was a nice touch.
