Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Copy and Paste

What if what i can not right

Doth the world delight

What if what i write and strive for
are irrelevant

What if i am part of the problem

Not the solution i seek

Then what is the point of my pen

Better i cave and join the masses

And suffer my partisan

Than dig my own grave

As i am no better no worse

Only difference is i gave it a go
and gave it my best shot

But in the end it fell on deaf ears

Like all of those who tried and
failed before me

Gary Radice March 12, 2021 at 12:44 AM Stay true to your own thoughts and writings and dont be persuaded to shoe-horn your style to suit others. I've been guilty of that. As long as you yourself are happy with your work then that is what truly matters. Anything else is a bonus. Cheers - Gary Christopher Flaherty March 15, 2021 at 2:59 PM Agree be true to oneself
