A so called poet

A so called poet on my poem remarked, he saw in my writing no linguistic art

He said that the language I used was over simple, this was the comment of dear Mr. nimble 

From Mr. nimble I need no advice, with my humble knowledge I shall suffice

Among people I’m just another man, not William Shakespeare nor Walt Whiteman

Poetry is not the use of some fancy word, but rather on making your story being heard

Poetry is about a feeling well expressed and evoking people’s emotions when well addressed

Poetry is that sweet vibrant feeling, that gives people pleasure and some sort of healing

To our so called poet I do suggest, in some dark shady room he should rest

Poetry can’t be described in just a few words, poetry is simply sublime

I agree with your fabulous poem! Well done. Poetry is and should be diverse as is audience and experience.
