Mike Dailey Poet Rhyme

Great Poets

They say that all great poets
Can write love poems from their soul
And all the other poets
Simply have that as their goal
Well I know I’m no great poet
For I never can impart
All the love I have for you
From deep within my heart
Sure, I can write a line
Or maybe two or three
That gives you just a little glimpse
Of what’s inside of me
But then I always have to add
A comic twist or two
That skirts around the issue
Of how I feel for you
But dear, I’ll go on trying
And hope someday to show it
That I’m not just a writer
But maybe a great poet

James Horn September 28, 2013 at 6:05 PM I always like to go back to the first poem for a frame of reference. Your poems are not good or great. They are exactly what you want them to be. Someone else's opinion has no meaning or bearing when it comes to your poems. You know what you want them to say. They must have meant what you wanted to say or you wouldn't have written them in the first place. Right?
