Poetry For The Common Man Poem by Joseph Anderson
Poetry For The Common Man
O muse of mine please work with me,
Teach me to write simplisticly
And I shall seek no grander plan;
Just poetry for the common man.
My idols, Dylan, Haggard, Frost
Wrote of things gained, things loved and lost;
Just simple words, but plain and clear,
Those simple words we all hold dear.
I need much help with rhyme and flow
And show me where the commas go;
Give me a deeper depth of thought,
'Tis not for fame nor glories sought.
I wish to write plain, down to earth,
Where all life's joys are given birth
And not concealed in mystery
Yet, glowing with much imagery.
This is my goal, please work with me.
Your help may set my writing free.
I'll never need a better plan
Then writing for the common man.
In tribute to Merle Haggard, America's
poet of the common man
Oh, how I feel one with your thoughts! Poems should be simple and rhyming for the common man to understand and enjoy! I enjoyed reading your poem! Excellent! !
So good, so true Joseph; I'm a big fan of The Hag, have been for at least 35 years! Simply a wonderful poetic tribute to such a great poet, from such a great poet. Your words move me.
Your muse serves you well Joseph, your poetry is wonderful and not just for the common man but for all. Very well penned. If you haven't already, you may like to read mine entitled ....... On Poetry, similar sentiment.
You’ve spoken my sentiments. Love this piece of a gem. You’re messages are quite clear and readily received Joseph. It's always a pleasure to visit. Great work. Keep it up.
A very good take on the art of poetry writing. You have summed it up in easy to relate to terms. Simple, sweet and enjoyable.
I have no choice but to keep it simple hahaha: -) You'll see if you dropp by!
I love this poem, it tell much more of my plight in poetry. Nice one Joseph.
Keeping yourself at a peak of your own is an endearing trait in you Mr Anderson. Your poetry is bereft of any tools abused otherwise. Keep writing sir and if possible share your reminiscences of the disillusioned world between 1939 and 1945 as well. Thanks a lot...
