To Readers of Today

Picked up a book of poetry the other day Read some of the verse in it Quite good I thought Seems the poems in it were written by SEVENTH GRADERS! Some to the poems were better than I see form older, experienced writers! Talent is talent! Genius doesn't come along everyday Yet it does come along! Read the work of today's youth Alongside that of senior citizens (damn, I almost am one) Enlighten yourself Pick up a new book of verse!

What a superb encouragement you have given to youngsters and oldsters alike to pick up a book of verse and be amazed! Well done Matthew! Best wishes, Keith (PS I'm an 'oldster' myself!) (PPS Thanks for your kind remarks regarding my poem 'Petal,' I am most grateful)

haha, I liked that remark about you also being almost a senior citizen. hard for me to believe it, but at some movie theaters, I am not getting senior discount, the ones that do it at age 60!!!
