Notes About The Poem

kind, and encouraging voices are rare and you never know who might see your work.

Actual Poet

This actual poet writes me silly poems.
He's there and I can't explain it.
A lifetime of experience and things lived I only imagine
and this actual, famous, poet writes me silly poems.

I wonder why me??  Why is he wasting time with me?
This sapient, hopelessly encouraging, ego-boosting poet
who writes me silly poems.

It's confusing.
My mind paints countless canvases of doubt,
like our connection is fragile tissue, perishable suds.
Surely one day I will find him bored and gone.
This actual, famous poet that writes me silly poems.

Perhaps it's his way of encouraging you, he see s your talent and knows that you too could one day be a famous poet.

It is the critical encouragement that will make you a better writer. I always welcome critical encouragement.

Yes, it's generous encouragement - although sometimes critical encouragement =]
