The Most Beautiful Line of Poetry

I’d write you the most beautiful,
profound lines of poetry ever written
but I think that’d come off too strongly.
Instead I’ll just say I hope to see
you tonight, sorry if I drank too much,
and I’ll make sure to dress nice for you.

I hardly think you should take it personally what the first commentor had to say. Coming from a teenager herself. What is that cliche: Takes one to see one. Anyway I, much like dreamer, enjoyed the innocense of this poem. As the title says The most beautiful line of poetry is in my opinion the simple ones. It is in simplicity that one can cut to the bone and not have to embellish with all kinds of complicated words and phrases. Looking forward to seeing you post more of your work.

thank you for the helpful comment dreamer. I'm glad you were able to see the meaning behind the poem.

I also never knew that poetry wasn't allowed to be self-centered?

Ouch on the above critique. I am no expert on prose, or poetry, or any of it...I just write. I thought it was cute, not meant to be serious, but fun. So in that context I enjoyed it.

This is not a poem, this is a prose. This is a junior high level peice of writing. It comes off as immature, and self centered.
