Poetry

What is poetry

Is it an art

Of highest property

Well it's true to my heart

Are there real muses

That enlighten us so

We can know its many uses

Like singing of woe

A tale about gore

Or loves passions told

Is what poetry's for

What value it holds

And what's so chilling

About rhyming a verse

It isn't all that thrilling

But it could be much worse

Maybe I'm just raving

But with poetry today

There's nothing worth saving

It's all in decay

The only good writing

Is either eccentric or insane

Cause when you're really trying

It ends up mundane

Thats why I'm just taking my time

So free flowing and unrefined

My work can turn on a dime

Cause it just floats to my mind

So don't worry about rhythm

Or if it will rhyme

Don't conform to a system

You'll just waste your free time
