Anyone Can Write a Poem

Anyone can write a poem And think that it’s fantastic Though often others may be slightly Less enthusiastic. For inner critics sometimes fail To note that something’s missing And few admit their efforts Might, in fact, be worth dismissing. And so the world is filled with poems, Most internet-inspired, Where talent is an asset Neither looked-for nor required. Of course, since I am one who writes, You may think I’ve concluded That I’m just like all the others But then you would be deluded!
