Simplicity in Poetry

[Lizzie]

(Also, agree with Leanne, writing to be read is utterly pointless, but if I were to start doing that I would most likely do something with my writing other than occasionally posting it here)

You are killing me Milo. Dead on the floor. Not literally, only in the most modern of senses.

Writing to be read is utterly pointless, eh? Well, that's it then. I put down the pen, forever.

What if I read my own poems out loud to myself, is that pointless too?

What if I write poems to share here at the Pen, in the for fun forum. That's what I like doing, not taking things too seriously, having a mutual, virtual laugh with like minded others, is that pointless too?

What if I want to write a poem for my child, something they can tuck away and keep as a reminder of what I saw in their youth? Something to remember the good times between us when I'm gone? Pointless? I suppose so.
