Beware, Claps Are Customary
If a poem fails to bring in loud cheers,
Need there’s none to feel unduly sorry,
Nor cheer up if some stray hearts it endears;
To too loud cheers need there’s to feel weary.
If at times your Muse says ‘I can’t help here’,
Fine, a flower blossoms but at right time,
Comes the right time and uncalled she comes near,
Words-failing-to-fall-in-place scarce is crime.
At last your poems if do some cheers fetch,
Get swayed not, claps are oft customary.
Let it in head nary an impress etch,
Poetry sites feel it’s necessary.
Poets are persuaded to encourage,
Quietly still they might turn a tired page.

Poet’s note: This is my take-out from forwarding poems to and following them at poetry sites. It helps if budding poets develop an attitude of being somewhat stick-proof!
