what should be my voice
when writing poetry
– therein lies confusion
avoiding metaphor
and extravagant words
– appears too simple for some
while attending rhyme,
rhythm and meter
– others find unacceptable
following my own path
learning and growing all the while
– must be the way forward
because even though I could
copy their ways of writing
– reproduce their style
I don’t really want that
because their words aren’t mine
– my voice is my own
This is perfect!
