A Brief Contribution

You wanted to be 
 one of the great, idolized  masters 
of poetry 
But you were let down"by a king full on eights"
   Weekends after work 
prove joyous 
as you relax 
  read the funnies 
and enjoy !
   Who am I to judge you?
Maybe someone will like 
    your poetry and prose 
in a thousand years 
    Find a fragment and discuss it 
   Won't do you too much good 
But what a FANTASTIC THOUGHT!

This seems sarcastic. I like that. It makes me curious to know who you are talking about! and yes, I figured the DC had something to do with comic books! If you had said Marvel, I 'd have known for sure!! LUv,Andrea

Guess we all share a dream for fame, Matthew! What you describe so well in this poem is exactly what happened to Emily Dickinson. It wasn't until after she died that a trunk filled with her poetry was finally "discovered." I think she expressed her angst well when she wrote "I'm Nobody." It seems that many of the best artists are appreciated long after their demise. Sad, but true. Great work! Got me thinking, obviously. Love, Carolyn
