Breaking them thar rules - Day 2 Poem

Outlaw or

We Don't Need No Stinkin' Rules

Day one and I've broken them unknowingly

not having been concerned with them

not having even bothered to look for, or at them

in the first place.

Ha! I will make my own rules

the first of which is

there are no rules

make it up as you go is always

creative, it just naturally follows

No prompts needed

at least not yet

and if they are I will make them

myself

And who's to say this is any less

valid?  I've been following rules

all my life. Maybe it's about time

I let my inner outlaw out.

The townsfolk will  have to run for cover

and the horses will whinny

and the tumbleweeds will tumble by

as my spurs clink

And I won't be afraid to be silly

So, I didn't read all the rules at the ReadWritePoem site when I signed up - and guess what, on the very first day - yesterday - I broke them. I didn't use their prompt and I didn't post my poem there or link to it. That makes me ineligible to be included in the anthology they're doing. Oh well. I'm still going to write a poem a day. But I'll write whatever however I want to. And ya know, it feels kinda good.
