I Have Not But Just One

My favorite artist...so many there are Not the pianist, not the guitarist, not the shining star My favorite artist...are the silent ones The warriors, the dear hearts...the smiling suns The Wolf of Chicago, the Barden of Maine And you, my friend...whom be'eth your name Myself, I include, though conceded...I'm not I just like what I write, and I just like it a lot But my favorite artist, and thou do not lie Are the many poets, that capture...my eye So, frankly my dear...my favorite artist is a group And they are all of the fine poets, here...in PoetrySoup Your Favorite Artist Poetry Contest Sponsor: Chantelle Anne Cook 11/3/2019

G'day Charles … you have spoken for many in your verse. To read and converse in a casual manner, in a positive way, is always the comfort star - thanks Charles - Lindsay
