I wrote my sentiments into poems,
To express and expound innate thoughts.
It is my fault that I cannot strike the passion,
Of poetic phrases devoid of the subtleties.
I am not a scholarly type of a poet,
Who scribbles poems with a score or rhyme.
I just want to express something in free verse,
A paragraph or two devoid of the subtleties.
Like most of the dreamers who attempted,
I too just grab a pen or click the keyboard;
At the surge of feelings so moved by an urge
To compose a poem devoid of subtleties.
Though somehow my poems seem so cold,
Lacks magic of the classic type of expression;
Yet I thank those who bother to read my writings
Even as they said most are devoid of the subtleties.
