Question: Does your arrogance prevent you from giving good directions!?
I've saddled enough ideas
to figure out what means
what!?
where I should pay
for the ideas I am given
and when I say
blood means life
and bones signify death
then you will see treasures
when I see tripe!. You
will go there with me
winding through the denizens of the poetic box
weeping for structure
and I will recoil upon arrival!. You
will not trust me
or trust my blood
or be afraid
of my bones!.

You do not pay for good ideas!.!.!.you enjoy them!.!.!.only about 5 different meanings to this poem!. Damn! This is GOOD!!!
A poem does NOT have to be structured in any certain, standardized way!. It's sentences, words, do that for it, whether consciously or subconsciously! DAMN this is a good poem!!!
I will never fear your bones, blood, or trust!.!.!.you are not the wishy-washy type of poet!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

No sense of direction myself,so I use maps a lot,I like thesaurus a whole bunch because my word retrieval ability is now so poor,but I have to remember others do not necessarily share my understanding of vocabulary!.That can look arrogant without intent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I trust you, nay, I demand of you, to remain true to YOUR formless structure, for it is where your voice speaks best!. Be true to you, or I'm gonna have to come over there and SMACK ya upside the head! Got it!?!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm hopeless at directions!.
Your poems always make me think about life outside my own little world!.They make me appreciate life more,and understand things I never used to think aboutWww@QuestionHome@Com

No bones about it!. I`m never arrogent, I mean everything I say!. And
I say everything I mean!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There appear to be those who are born poets and I count you among them!. Most of us have to learn to express themselves half as eloquently as you!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

bones will be bones
till they turn to ash and dust
and even if the surface is dry
blood will flow
and so as trust!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
