. Poetry from The Great In-Between: Are you a type A B or C?

Tuesday, April 9, 2024

Are you a type A B or C?

 



Are you: A.


A rhymer


A gatekeeper to old or new emotional sensations


Demanding a freedom

To live in a new format


For real eyes to read 

From the human nation 


Or are you: B.


A young or old timer

Like a goldminer 

From 1827


At Coker Creek


In the high country of Monroe County 

Tennessee


Searching for the right lines 

Like pure gold


To express and extinguish a cold uncontrollable fire 


To turn your soul into one of Poetry's 


Many soldiers who love all nighters 


Going to war everyday

Against tones and metaphors


Juxtapositions or cold terror 


Or are you: C.


Just another lone driver 


Stuck on the highways of dreams 

With a blown tire


Searching for someone new 


To become real fighters Together 


To also love Poetry's all nighters 


With a mirror image to hold tighter and to help make the load 


Lighter


Or are are you just a mixture of the three?


A represents the need to just write poetry for pleasure.


B represents the need to just write poetry for catharsis


C represents the need to just write poetry while seeking solace in someone special


Who shares the same bliss
