Acknowledge Yourself, Poet

If you don’t appreciate you, then, 
who will?
Waiting for the winds of approval, 
like a worn out windmill.

We all know that lonely space,,,,
Oh, no not you, with that arrogant, 
smug look on your face!

“See my trophies” well no,I actually 
don’t!
As ephemeral as something that on 
dead waters, floats.

Looking for approval is so useless,you 
have to be the one who does it first.
If not, you’ll be lost in a heated desert,
and wii be doomed to forever, thirst.

Poets love their craft, and constantly write.
So many forms to try, before we bid this earth, 
our final, poetic-good-bye!

May your poetry sparkle like those gorgeous
eyes.
When  overflowing with truth, you have no need
The of a carnival disguise!

Prince de Mino. Doing the best I can..,,,,truth matters to me as does Freedom . Of me being me! Thank you for an emotive comment... Emotions scare poets sometimes...not this one, Writing as a pr efess or scares me. I don’t favor dead poetry with no soul. What’s that about? Pietey is far from writing a text book, Greetings to your Princess, Pangie 9/30
