Ode To a Poet

I wrote this because I am my worst critic. I'm learning how not to critize what I write. You are a Poet, indeed you are The words you write Resonates deep within so many hearts The way you pen your words Is masterfully crafted Poetry in motion Full of joy and laughter Whether you write complete stanzas Or only a few lines You take your reader on the same journey You created in your mind You have talent and you are skilled You are the poet The world needs to hear Rosalyn M.

So positive. I do need to be mindful of it. Such a critic seem to be a poets plight. Have a good day or keep on trying. We have two choices. Only two . Peace, Love and Joy .

Rosalyn, I hope everyone reads this poem. We all have self doubts about our writing skills, but this affirmation helps restore our sense of worthiness. Lovely poem! Best wishes, Carolyn
