Aren’t they too literal and too one- dimensional? <br />Where is their metaphor and their surprise? <br /> <br />Again then <br />I confess, <br /> <br />“I am a poor simple writer of plain words <br />No poet in the most imaginative and interesting sense <br />A man who writes his own truth <br />And lets the words lie on the page <br />As if they were his own inaudible breath.”<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-these-straightforward-confessions-of-feelings-poems/
