Me in all Honesty

These are not the poems that you will read in your English class.
They don't have rhyming couplets
They don't follow iambic pentameter
These aren't poems that you will write just to get an assignment done

These are poems that ring truth
Poems that you could possibly relate to

These aren't poems that were written 100 years ago
They aren't written about sunrises and fall leaves.

Though I have nothing against poets who write about such things
In fact I love poetry that deal with such things

Poetry is more than that
Poetry is a way to express yourself
A way to put words together when you can't put a name on your emotions

The stanzas don't need to end in rhyming words
Hell a poem doesn't even have to be more than a sentence.

So here lies a collection of poems written by yours truly
I hope you can find comfort and truth in the words that I have written
Enjoy....
