Don't bring me your rules and regulations

Don't bring me your rules and regulations

Because someone says
that it is so, does not mean
that it is so.

I have met people who know
all the "rules" of poetry, but
they couldn't write a decent
poem if mine or your life depended
on it, which is a scary situation.

This is why so many people
hate poetry; because there
are so many boring "poets"
out there,

but by all means, write, if you
must or want to, just don't
bring me your rules and regulations.
