Click hereIn their world I don’t quite fit
In this one I don’t belong
Caught somewhere in the middle
Between a story and a song
Chapter, passage, verse, or rhyme
The words sometimes flow
Random or methodical
Ideas begin to grow
Story teller or poet
Still trying to find my niche
A little of both, a lot of neither
My words will never make me rich
Fitting in was never my thing
I’m happy in my own little space
Off-beat, a rebel
With my own style and grace
My words evoke emotion
Though I could be wrong
Sometimes good, sometimes bad
Between a story and a song
a lark or a lick and a promise. TK U MLJ LV NV

Ahhh, the plight of the poet
Caught in the middle ~
The best of both world's creativity
The worst of their income...
I dreamt this poem one night cause it seems really familiar <bigrin> great poem and I love the concept of being caught between a story and a song since I write both <grin> a gem of a poem (~_~)
it's cute but this just reads like a greeting card. if this didn't have such precious, forced rhymes (niche and rich?) it might have been easier to explore the tight space you describe. try and rewrite this without the rhyming and i bet it's a much better piece, because the idea is good and there are some cool phrases here.
