Words

Popularity poetry words are read Unlike the unpopular This brings to mind a contest Between words and sounds How popular must one be For their words to be heard Does one write to be popular Or do they write from the heart The book of psalms was written Between 1010 and 930 BC Its popularity has surpassed time Found between 800 and 1000 AD So, your poetry may take awhile To become popular among all No matter who sees it our reads it today One day your words maybe known To All

Boby, your poetry was thought-provoking and enlightening. From the first to the last line, this stanza is fantastic. If one wants to know how well-known or liked he is, he will quickly run out of ideas. However, he should not write with the goal of drawing a large audience. But only to communicate one's deepest ideas and emotions. Added to Fave.

I'd like to think that all poets write to fulfill a need to express their thoughts. Whether my poetry is appreciated or not, I have a sense of accomplishment in knowing what I post comes from my feelings, personal or observances. I don't look at writing as a means to gain popularity. I don't feed a poet with comments that I don't sincerely mean. I don't enter contests to be atop any list, for if I did, I'd enter every available one. My heart is an open book to read, and so are these comments.
