I Hope That You Like This Poem

In all honesty, poetry isn't my best skill. Having said that Only through Practice can anyone Ever hope to improve. The best poetry comes from the Heart, for poetry, it is said, is Art made Through the written and spoken word. Yearning for recognition Only Undermines a would-be poet's credibility. Learning about poetry of the past Is a better way to improve one's craft without Killing one's chances of Ever being taken seriously. True enough I will Have to practice writing poetry if I ever want to find Success. Please understand; I'm Only writing this poem to improve my poetry, as Every poet Must.

Joseph, I really enjoyed reading this excellent piece! I encourage you to continue writing, my friend. While I have come a long way with my writing, I am still a "wanna be" :-)! But you are doing great and the more you write, the better you will become. As you rightly stated, the best poetry does come from the heart. I give this a 7! All the best to you. Pandita
