Poetry Really???

I have no poetry in me...
What you see is vented steam...
It tells you nothing about me...
As I try and keep it clean...

I have no poetry in me...
Its a thrill of lying in blank verse...
I betray sentiment through syllable...
And scheme it into a workable rhythm...

Poetry is but the silence after a terrible scream...
Read nothing into it...
Seek nothing in it...

For, Poetry is but the silence
after a terrible scream...
Read nothing into it...
Seek nothing in it...
