A Poet In His Own Time

Who am I  to criticize others,
I'm a poet in my own time,
my own place and my own world,
I just write what I see, feel
          and hear.

My poetry may be different,
I don't follow the path
of other poets, but that's
ok, let them write what
they must write in their
        own way.

All poetry is beautiful,
some takes longer to
         understand.

We're all in this together,
we write the poetry that
fulfills our needs.

This is a wonderful write. Truth and beauty flow through it. Poetry is such a great way to express yourself and we are all unique and should be able to do this in our own way. As poets we are kindred spirits. Great write. Love Robin
