GATES OF NEOPOET

Posted Dec 12, 2025 · 17 lines · 2 critiques

GATES OF NEOPOET

I see two guards standing there
I wonder what’s considered fair
One checks theme compliance
Ensuring there’s no A.I alliance
The other, with welcome smile
Some subtle admin all the while
Free to enter, and to be judged
Ensuring results are not fudged
But it’s about the written word
And poetry is always preferred
But it is after all, a community
Welcoming every opportunity
Enthusiastic poets as members
Their words as burning embers
All emotions being discharged
While membership is enlarged

"I wholeheartedly agree with Cat! You are a true romantic. If I wasn't so miserably sick in the head, this is what I would want also, but without separation. What a beautiful poem!"

"Very relatable and sad poem. I recently broke up with my girlfriend, now she is married, but alone. I wish that it could have worked out, but it's over now. Great poem though, I felt the anguish and pain. Great Job and…"
