'Perchance There Be an Inn?"
I am the wayward poet,
fine lines fine lines, fine...line,
'twist genius and insanity,
true brilliance and inanity,
renown and bleak ignominy,
I dance along that edge.
Crystal diamond sword of tears
smelted out of love through fears
insightful eyes too damaged peer
'to murkiest of depths.
Perhaps my wisdom came too soon
crafting a seer into a loon,
but only fools can mock the king,
in trickery and satire sing;
with pointed poignant insult fling
unadult-R-rated truths.
Alas, my dear, I cannot judge,
nor with my spirit e'er begrudge
the somber solemn writers dear
whose pens claim beauty's ever near,
who bask in pleasant atmosphere
and always so composed appear,
creating diamonds out of sludge
causing the hardest hearts to budge
but I shall keep my fripperies
my fine line edge dance slippery
so neither here and there I go
sometimes with joy, sometimes with woe,
and thoughts impossible to show
in blatant light so I'll forego
a play upon this stage of life,
I'll keep the laughter, leave the strife,
and though it's me you think you see
in black and scarlet misery,
the wrinkles here are made by smiles
the scars upon me left by miles
of dancing on a bladed edge
a teeter on this holy ledge
'twixt genius and insanity,
eloquence and profanity,
a humble heart and vanity
I am the wayword poet.

I liked it better when your poetry was...less contrived.
My advice is to stay away from the line and stick with insanity...or genius...or which ever one made you the better poet.

Absolutely love. I feel the verses speak to the frustrating, satisfying,passionate, dark, wonderful, conflicting, life of an artist in any facet that endures the extremities of living in a world where you rarely fit in amongst the masses. LOVE IT!!

i like the circulate and rhythmn of the poem. uncertain appropriate to the call ... uncertain incredibly suits for me. probably some thing alongside the lines of "writing" ... interior the comparable essence of the story yet to benefit (or written). individually i like using "write" and "wrote" interior the poem. i think of you may desire to perchance use those analogies extra interior the poem. The 0.33 and fourth lines do no longer probably touch in this factor, which i think of they could desire to. additionally the line "My veins chop up open!" no longer probably confident approximately. could desire to perchance contain a line related to writing with purple ink which you bleed (that way invokes imagery of bleeding in a diffused way). The final stanza and lines i could additionally relate back on your writing. perchance alongside the line of i visit replace the story with my pen, or because of the fact the leaves of my e book end with the hollow of recent attractiveness will stir you as quickly as back (or alongside those lines). in spite of the undeniable fact that ordinary great poem. incredibly celebrate with the imagery. incredibly between the extra useful poems I even have study on Yahoo solutions.

Wow, this one took my on a ride. Lots of imagery, and what really
took over for me was your rhyme pattern. Mid-way through I stopped
reading just to try and figure out how you were negotiating this, and
it's like a woman, don't try to figure her out, just accept her as she is.
Therefore, I accept you milady as a way-word poet.
Congrats
