Good Poets

I’ve lost the thread, I don’t know why, however much I sit and try I still think lots of poetry’s crap, (it’s not like me to think like that). I struggle on from verse to verse, as sometimes every line gets worse, for long, long hours though God knows why, just reading all that meets my eye. But hidden deep beneath the grot sometimes a piece will hit the spot, a gem of creativity absorbing every part of me. It’s then I know why I still look, for poetry becomes my hook and like a fish beneath the sea hook, line and sinker, it’s caught me. I’ll journey on this poet’s rhyme absorbed by each and every line, enraptured by the poet’s verse this is the nature of my curse. Good Poets of the world unite and feed my hunger when you write such words delivered with such might, it’s worth my dredging through the trite! Ivor G Davies

That is good, because it really is like fishing here, casting out your line, hoping to get a tasty delight. I enjoyed this! :)

Yes, but like when I tried fishing I do not always make a catch....

One man's food is another man's poison! When I refer to 'crap or trite' I am definitely not referring to the poet, to somebody else this may be the best poetry in the world. My definition of good is if I like it and most will possibly have noticed by now that there are very few poems not written in rhyme that I either like or understand. I consider this a failing on my part and not the poets!
