What kind of poet are you?

Question

Do you poem for distraction from things best left alone?
Perhaps for the attraction of creating something all your own.
Does it drive you like the devil is behind you, lashing tail?
Does it take you on a journey far away, have you set sail"
Or are you more prone to anchor your ship on solid ground,
with form and perfect meter, submerge in sonnets 'til you drown?
Do your poems tell stories, perhaps appeal to emotions?
I would like to drift here on these vast verse-ified oceans.
Answer this with your own poem just to keep it flowing.
My intentions here are thus: Im lost. Where was I going?

I'm sad in the ninth degree.

Nihilistic.

Move on they state in unpleasant terms,

do it now or you will never learn,

Venezuela,Israel,North Korea,possible Iran,

how fast can you run and hide my man?

Must be invisible bullets,blank bombs,

you'll never learn it's an old song,

Cover the bodies with dirt,stagnant in the fields,

does it seem even a little bit real?

We can imagine a world of peace,

it is just a system out of reach,

can we play games again in the zoo?

I tell you that is out of our view.

Can we snicker at all the dead?

yes sir if you like where we are led,

this has gone on forever,

can we state no more ever?

You can scheme and dream,nothing has changed,

that's where we are headed,totally insane,

The insane has wracked the brain,it's not real,

will you say to God above what you feel?

It's nihilistic the pain of our minds,

we'll repeat until it's overtime,

Take a look around,bodies,death and destruction,

I will end here since you can't touch me.

L.C., you have  returned to us
Unheralded by bugle fuss   
Have you my poems  - those scrawls of mine
Now lost to me, Water or wine?

The Yahoo archive - How  access?
Our contact now each other - Bless?
Reasons refreshed in perpetuity -
We dwell in joy of continuity.

....Scribbler, now half - blind I be
....Still, our allegiance glows for me.
