| In order to write poetry you don't have to be..... | |

Another poem that came out of a creative writing exercise. The teacher asked us to confront our prejudices and stereotypes about poets and poetry - and then write about them. This is what came out. You don't have to be high brow, low brow or brown cow. You don't have to be mad, bad or sad. You don't have to have a PHD, a GCSE or be an S.O.B.
You don't have to be well read, well bred or dead. You don't have to be Greek, a geek or a freak. You don't have to be hairy, scary or a fairy.
Don't need to be medicated, alienated or inebriated. Don't need to be poor, a whore or insecure. Don't need a Rolls-Royce or to be James Joyce, just need your own voice.
