At Times ConfusingBeing a simple entity of life Here upon earth~ I walk the line best I can Give most things my worth~ Writing poetry and song Over many a year~ About true love and life Life's occasional tear~ I always saw poetry As a beautiful way~ Painting landscapes with words How one feels on the day~ But things they have changed so Ever so much over time~ Difference reasons many now have For the use of pure rhyme~ The old writers would boggle Of the use of poetic verse~ The raising of old eye eyebrows I can imagine and worse~ But poetry seems no longer What it once used to be~ Anything goes now As a blind man could see~ Values of old over time Have slipped slightly away~ Nothing surprises anymore As it would have back in their day~ But we still call it poetry Though it no longer seems to be~ What it once was way back when The masters wrote of love and destiny~ At times I'm confused so Is it time I wrote not~ For poetry has changed so From a time almost forgot~ Terrence Michael Sutton copyright 2008 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
