Don't Call It Poetry

DON'T CALL IT POETRYFor the most part, this book is not from the heart, but imagination. It contains different media, such as: short story fiction, lyrics, letter style, commentary, poetry style, limericks, odes, philosophy, greeting card style, crafty lies, dreams and more. Some things are clearly reality. Others are real or real opinions, but are exaggerated and or more intense so as not to be as personal and to really make the point. Some skrybes have strong meaning, others...? Well you decide. If you think you're getting to know the writer of the skrybe, you're wasting your time. That would only put a skew on the whole read and would make it worthless! If you think you're getting in the writer's mind, be careful, you might hurt yourself. The reason for writing some skrybes was simply to test a writer's imagination or ability to write as others do, as far as style and subject, like... poetry or greeting card style, love and suicide. I would think most readers would get the reason for the title: DON'T CALL IT POETRY, though like I said some skrybes do fit that criteria. A goal of this book is to make even poetry interesting and enjoyable to read - again. Hopefully the reader will enjoy the read even if the meaning or subject is not clear (A large part of this books endeavor). As well as writing in a manner that could be interpreted as the reader's mind dictates. IS YOUR IMAGINATION SUFFICIENT? It is possible that you won't like some skrybe subject or content but I am certain, you WILL read it again. I believe that everyone can get a lot from this book.
