A Man Can Dream by Jarrius Smith
A Man Can Dream
I have big dreams.
I’m trying to become a man
They remember like Michaelangelo.
A literary legend like Maya Angelou.
Words so concrete
That they have trouble spelling it like
The name DeAngelo.
Intangible Lines resembling that of music.
Barry Manilow.
Organic
Writing
That makes people
Panic.
It’s not even a foreign language,
But they Can’t translate
How I planned
To make something so
Dynamic.
Explosive verses.
Volcanic.
Simple to read.
Specific Characteristics like Atlantis.
Yet, different like
The Pacific
Versus
The Atlantic.
Stanzas
Turn from what’s expected
To oceanic.
A change of pace and they can’t stand it.
It’s like my critics are the iceberg
Trying to sink the Titanic.
When it comes to rhyming poetry, I want to expand it.
It’s been dead for years,
And no one demands it.
It can withstand the test of time in the
Right person’s hands.
