Another cycle complete's itself...

Having to rewrite all these poems and works of mine in the last couple of weeks, I've really come to the conclusion that I need to reinvent myself... my poe has become rotten and past it's time.. this rhyme style that I have come to depend on to express myself.. I've never been one for writing freeverse works, but looking around I see it as the only poetry I reall respect... I read other people's work on here and it's fine... but when I look at my work, people tell me it's great.. but I see no greatness in it.. all I see is a couple of good lines and a massive pile of decrepit and wasted words and phrases..
I've spent so much of my time writing poe in a rhyming sense, that maybe it's over.. I mean if it's something that inspired me to write about, but doesnt inspire me to read... then what's the point? I like sharing my life with strangers, dont think that I don't.. but I want something that will make you shiver.. that will make you look at your friend and say, Man, you gotta read this!!
So in this.. I'm not writing anymore poetry for a while.. I'm going to continue to work on the older stuff and put it into the archives.. but as of now.. My rhyme days are over... I'm not a songwriter.. I was.. but apparently, not good at the follow through.. So I decline to fade, only to make my talent grow in some other way.. Sure I can rhyme cat and the hat.. but why? Only children love that musical style poet.. Me? I love the poet that gives you visions, makes you think... make you feel alive. I want that more than most.. and maybe.. just maybe.. I'll get there..

I am currently Anxious
I am listening to The sounds of rustling wind..
