Ron Kinard © 2003



why do you write the words

stating how you feel

asking me, a simple man

to critique, what’s the deal



I don’t write much poetry

I like to draw on walls

or scribble out a limerick

in the bathroom stalls



how can I critique a poem

and don’t know how to write

do you think it’s fair

tell me, am I right



I read the words of poets

amazed, in every way

seeing how they rhyme

with rhythm, they do play



displaying such prowess

confidence of a King

oh, these mighty poets

the sonnets, we do sing



making poems of triplets

playing with their prose

to them it’s just as easy

as staring down their nose



couplets, with such power

Haiku with a soul

writing words of wisdom

each one with a goal



valid are these poets

educated, say the least

knowing all the shortcuts

taming the inner beast



if I were to try to write

a poem, such as this

certainly I’d goof up

the target, I would miss



anyway, I’m leaving

with my crayon in hand

to try and write a poem

to post in forum land
