All poets are insane
You cannot tell me otherwise
I am convinced
that all poets are insane
and the best poetry
comes from the craziest brains.
Loose bolts,
dangling screws,
create openings
for metaphors to ooze through.
I am convinced
that all poets are insane,
telling stories
of animus fights and inner demons slain.
Personified nightmares
impatiently standing behind
curtains of imagery,
eager to dazzle the audience’s mind.
I am convinced
that all poets are insane
and the sane world
no longer their domain.
Company kept
by syllables and verses,
endless ink
and torn pages.
I am convinced
that all poets are insane,
for no one else
would dare say the same thing again and again.

From one poet to another, great poetry. We certainly have a different way of seeing, feeling the world around us to be able to capture so much in so few words!
Where is the lie? 👍
Man, I really liked that. Really good!
Nice 👍🙂
Lmao I love this poem, I feel the same way sometimes and I also wonder Are the poets insane? or are we the only sane? Diving deep into the brain and confronting all our pain.
Who would dare say the same thing again and again ink-stained fractal brained POETS I loved this poem. Thank you for your work.
Love this! Call me out why don't you. :)
Love the poem! Such an engaging read
Some good imagery, some good word play. Actually began to hope it would widen to something spectacular, and that does not happen often. So take heart. But dare to go into more compelling emotions. I look forward to your next efforts
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing :)

Nicely rhymed, I once put my emotions into lyrics, you can take a look maybe if you like: https://todaysurvey.life/poets/figuring-out%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
As a ‘like minded’ poet this pricked up my attention! Great read.
Really outstanding. Poets, writers and artists never feel like they belong. They have names and conditions for ppl seeing life through a different lens darkly or through a prism brightly.
We only see and feel a tad bit of a chasm differently 🫥
Either we are insane or the dubbed, 'sane,' world is the one whose nuts and bolts are loose and the light shines through to those on the edges of it and not so brightly to those in the middle. Congrats on the top story!
Love it
Nice work
This is great. I agree completely.
Yeah but it's a controllable afflicition just take an empty exercise book and two pens and call someone in the morning :)
