Poets and Fools dots

-------------------------------------------

On the road to lonesome town
where tortured poets play,
Met a gal who said 'Turn 'round
don't you come this way'
Laughed and said 'Don't worry'
held my ticket to her face.
'You can't be blamed, you're ignorant
this ain't your kind of place'.
'Sorry no one told me the poets
live by rules'.
'Too bad' she hissed,turned away,
'you're just another fool'.

Now I'm sittin' here and wondering,
aren't all poets simply fools,
Dreamers and weavers
spreading words like jewels.

I guess I'll hit the road
it's my one and only friend,
Perhaps the twist that brought
me here will bring me back again.

  im not sure how to write this, but i truly loved this poem. It really feels like thoughts and feelings right out of my head, but said in such a great flow and rythm. The only thing i could possibly change, would be some of the grammatical errors, but if you look over it again youd catch them anyways. Amazing right, and i have not much more to say. awesome talent.

  "don't tell me what the poets are doing,
on the street and the epitome of vague,
don't tell me how the universe is altered,
when you find out how he gets laid."

Poets
The Tragically Hip.

  Liked this one alot. For what a fool is differs in everyone's mind. Abstract thinking is often frowned upon because concrete thinkers don't understand and sometimes abstract thinkers dont understand the concrete points of veiw. My favorite is the last part

I guess I'll hit the road
it's my one and only friend,
Perhaps the twist that brought
me here will bring me back again.

Also how the woman said that this place wasn't for people like you. How people see a person and automatically think they are tough or weak by the way they walk or what they wear.

  Poets follow rules?:( But seriously.....WOW! the language, the setting, amazing context. This is one the best poems I've ever read, you have such talent!!! This poem was like nothing I've ever really thought about, shows a completely new view. Absolutely wonderful.

  i'm adding this one to my favorite's list... the only advice i have for you is maybe add some commas in a couple of the lines like

"you can't be blamed, you're ignorant"

i had to read that line again to make sure i had it in the right context. you used the wrong form of the word your a couple of times. it should be you're. but ya know what. you don't always have to follow the rules.
