My Innards Squirm
As I look over the poems I’ve written
Seeing that several folks have read them,
Suddenly, I find myself strangely smitten
That anyone would read my simple poem.
So grateful that many have commented
Lovely phrases with complimentary terms,
Let’s face it, it’s so nice to be complimented
It always makes my innards squirm,
To think my poems are being read the world over
By poets so accomplished, [more so than I]
Is a little like finding an elusive four-leaf clover
Certainly, makes me want to continue to try
To write something of note, memorable
I suppose something that will elicit a smile
Finding so many in PS that are commendable,
I may try to write another one after a while.
