Poems have to be smart and witty,
They must make you feel a certain way,
Poems need to look pretty
To write a poem might take all day,
But poems often have more to say.
This poem, has to be smart and witty
You have to write this poem today
It must be perfect and written with no delay,
But it needs to look pretty
Deep inside the mind, the truth tries to break away;
But you must not falter, do not put it on display.
Poems must be smart and witty
Those inner workings say they lead you astray
Do not listen to them, betray ---
Poems need to look pretty
Everyone tells you that you did okay,
But you know different and that sticks with you everyday.
You must be smart and witty.
None of your poems are very pretty.

I'm here to get better and to be human. I want to fail and learn and get better and become a stronger human and writer because of it. It will be mostly poems until my book is done. After that, who knows?

I love the transition at the end when the topic isn’t the poem but the writer/reader. Reading it over again through the perspective of the writer talking about themselves and/or the reader is interesting and thoughtful. Great poem!
Blissful sheer excellence. Keep up the amazing work.
Excellent, witty indeed and feels like you directly splatted the trail of thoughts in your mind onto paper. I sometimes do this too, but more often than not, my mind wanders and the brilliant trail of thoughts only becomes a single footstep onto the pavement. And then I am stuck. Not remembering and not knowing where else to go.
Deep inside the mind, the truth tries to break away; But you must not falter, do not put it on display. A great set of thoughts I resonate with. Great work indeed hearted
Agree and don't agree. But witty, yes.
I like it very much and please continue :)
WooW, amazing...
They do say a lot, don't they? Thank you for this one... Very...pretty? 🤔
