Mediocrity

Write a poem
show poetic flare!
But not too deep
not too bright
surface is easier
to share – you can
take a reader to water...
but, Lord!~ you can make
one drink – too complicated
will just make a lazy
eye blink….

Poetry should be enjoyable, not too complicated to wrack the brain. Well said, dear friend.

Only so much time in a day, with many responsibilities. When I write a poem that people seem not to understand or think worthy of a comment, I say to myself then, my poem has failed -- try again.

Perhaps I am being too unfair with myself and others. Thank you, Joe.
