Great Poets

They say that all great poets Can write love poems from their soul And all the other poets Simply have that as their goal Well I know I’m no great poet For I never can impart All the love I have for you From deep within my heart Sure, I can write a line Or maybe two or three That gives you just a little glimpse Of what’s inside of me But then I always have to add A comic twist or two That skirts around the issue Of how I feel for you But dear, I’ll go on trying And hope someday to show it That I’m not just a writer But maybe a great poet

I always like to go back to the first poem for a frame of reference. Your poems are not good or great. They are exactly what you want them to be. Someone else's opinion has no meaning or bearing when it comes to your poems. You know what you want them to say. They must have meant what you wanted to say or you wouldn't have written them in the first place. Right?

No poet is greater than the other in my eyes. Some are just liked more for what they write. This is a little gem Mike, summing us writers / poets just fine....:)
