tension adjustment timing chain

 

 

someone dear to me said i write too much

that i talk to much

stare too much

dwell too much

 

its always been too much

You are over the top

loud and proud

 

king of the curb

walking eagle so full of shit he can not fly

 

WHAT DO YOU WANT was screamed into my smiling face one night

 

i go about soaking everything in as i can

trying to relate

figuring out i was too far out of range to relate

but end up being ordinary as hell

so much for the spell

 

if i cant do talking

then its back to walking

step out from the word

dont walk on the sidewalk turd

straight away from shit talk

cause it aint gonna win

the joyous and the spin

let it lead with the chin

 

i have been writing five or less poems

per day for like forever on here

but i could just write them down

by hand and then transcribe them

one per day to Neopoet

 

but i write like incredibly fast

these poems come out almost

effortlessly

its like im not even the one

who is the father of these things

they seem to have a life all

their own

 

i cant write like any other of you

i so admire the different ways of

all the Neopoet poets writing

here  thats whats so great about

this place

 

and when people do write like

seven poems per page in a

sitting I can relate to one poem

in all of them and I leave like

one comment on the one poem

that affects me the most

or intrigues me the most

 

i remember this site before christmas

and it was like everyone was so shy

and careful not to be too harsh on each

other  and it was small so very small

a group of poets

 

and then it just took off

it lept and changed shape

and never touched the ground again

 

i try to tell people about this

but no ordinary working person i know

is going to log on create a username

fill out the short forms and start here

some came to look at my work

and they said i wasnt that great

and okay im not that great

im not into being great

im just here to write

i have to write

 

and instead of putting them into

green garbage bags and lugging

them to the curb after they get

to be around thirty or fourty

pounds i can share them

at least before i get rid of them

YOU fellow poets You fellow

admirers of word lovers

can at least have a chance to

leaf through them for your

fancy

 

i figure i threw away like

three hundred pounds of poems

burned them in ritualistic fires

lugged them to curb

 

never once dreaming that i was

at least readable

that people could relate to what

i was writing

 

or that i could understand what

others would be feeling

expressing

writing also

 

i dont go to libraries anymore

an old woman who didnt like me

for some reason or other

threw my returned books away

and i had to pay forty dollars

for the books and shes always

at the desk so i just quit

getting books from there

 

it was worse then death

and i cant afford new books

even though its like a drug to me

to own one  I have owned a few

in my day and always gave them

away to others

 

okay

 

blah blah

 

if you have read down to this point in this

boring old blog of mine

let me know if I do actually post too many poems

because if I do I will start to save them up and

just post one

 

Oh the person said it was to let others have a chance

at being read   The person said I write good poems

so im just wanting some fellow advice

 

maybe i should just quit writing for awhile

take a break

im sure i will be able to pick it up in the fall

or next winter

 

what do you think?????????????

 

im not hurt by the notation

i was told my poems were shit for years by a so called "freind"

but i dumped that so called freind

they were too negative

wow  even though my -poetry is negative based some of it

 

anyway what i find interesting is that i post five to more or less

poems per day from the first day i found this site

and now am being asked to tone it down to one

 

my response is that i am going to still write five or more or

less poems as i have always done

but would like Neopoets advice on this

 

thank you all who have read this far
