[hometext] => i wrote this poem for a creative writing teacher of mine who wanted me to rewrite an entire story because she did not think it was feminist enough. she apologized before i turned it in so it has never been read by anyone. criticism is much appreciated =]
[bodytext] => Let this poem write itself I’m putting my thoughts upon a shelf Fear has clouded a creative mind For what will be accepted and what some will find Uncalled for, Unclean, Uncanny, Unjust My originality replaced with rust And all will to write turns to dust Who with my lyrics can I ever trust? For if I write a crooked line Are my characters thoughts replaced with mine? Because I thought what authors were supposed to do Was make up stories that weren’t always true I suppose I believed what I wrote could be An invention and not my reality But now it is clear, I obviously see That my fictional character just must be me And in a place I thought was secure I wrote in a style that I was not so sure My pen could pull off, but I thought I’d attempt Only to find that the topic was exempt That I’m supposed to write like all the rest It was not for fun, it was a test My Words, my Script has been oppressed The false lines on my paper I simply detest [comments] => 4 [counter] => 240 [topic] => 6 [informant] => missAmeteur [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
