Beat i

A beat poet.
A lot of people don't realize that.
Writing in the Neo-classical style,
Or as one writer put it, 
The New Classical.

Never mind convention,
And say what's felt.

KLF and 2 Unlimited
Camila Cabello
The Eagles, Johnny Cash
And Tchaikovsky

It infuses the writing
With its beats
With its sound.

Write large, 
Write small.
Be simple
Complex
Be grounded.

Beauty comes in every style
Yet make the words beautiful
Or the style is worthless.
Imbue the sounds of the art of music
Put it into the work
And listen to the lyrics.

Shifting, making melody, changing the rhythms.
Want the strong stuff
Sing the melodies.

Get a beat, get a rhythm
Meditate, get lost in the writing.

A simple poem sometimes is best.
A simple word,
A simple sound.
Know it,
Let it be felt.

One other thing.
Get the "I" out of writing.
