Jack Clark Poet Rhyme

AS ONE

So … here it is: My two cents 
(I know that’s not much recompense 
For using up this space and time 
With this, my lowly rhyme.) 

But … in this published poetry 
I’ve read rhymes of majesty. 
Too, I’ve read some words from whence 
I can simply make no sense 

But making sense of what they write 
Reflects only on my insight 
And does not diminish - in any way 
What it is they have to say 

And in these pages as I drift 
I read poets who have “The Gift” 
In shock and awe do I read 
And now I find I must concede: 

Good or bad, short or long, 
All these poets sing their song 
All can see, there is NO doubt 
‘Tis from their hearts these words ring out 

So, I’ll not read them critically 
For who the hell am I to be 
In judgment of a poet’s heart 
Of what’s inside which they impart 

They open paths for their purvey 
For they must say what they have to say 
In their hearts they write As One
And to all I say:  Wow!  Well done!
