My Poetical Expressions

Through these verses I divulge my poetical expressions to ignore criticism and not hoot while extricating my ideals; my work is marked by indisputable integrity, more plausible than a woman's chastity! Recognition and deserving honor are nice, but they are the least rewards I seek, best of the best...who ever was ? Worst of the worst.. I cannot be! I fall between these two, lest I fault and fairly deserve the dungeon... the crowds not applauding my effort, not proclaiming me a champion! My words are soave, sometimes as rigid as hooves of a horse... reminding all that I am as human as anyone else who bleeds and rejoices, but my creativity is not satiated by inferior knowledge or bizarre notions, although my glory is never accompanied by real expectations! Like Homer and Virgil the masters of ancient poetry, I do praise their work, and recognize their genius shining in their word; Troy fell and Rome rose to prominence by a bloody sword; I don't fall by trickery, I stand on my fortress of liberty! My obligation must be fulfilled by ardous work, I will not depart, or merely linger on...until this mission is faithfully accomplished, and this voice, before fading, invokes its last sunset to finally fall silent; and if readers acclaim me, I have succeeded in my poetical expressions!
