Song of a Poet

Sitting here writing a poem I begin to believe that poetry probably won't improve socialism or capitalism It's just a few words on paper Some say my poetry is great while others detest is Well, I think that I will continue to create new word configurations damn the critics Full speed ahead!

I like Leonora think your poem is great. As poets we write what inspires us and what we feel. Some people might like it and some might not. I say that we write,because that is what we like to do. So be it. Thanks for sharing.... Lucilla

First of all, we write for ourselves, we write just to write in a language that our soul understand. Now, if some do not understand our poetry tough luck! Well done, Matthew

You tell 'em, matt. To heck with capitalists and communists (not sure on socialism yet, I am thinking it might not be so bad these days).
