No Robert Frost

I know that I’m no Robert Frost; I never claimed to be ‘im, Yet that is not the reason why I write a poem per diem. The writing lets me tap inside And reach my inner being, Which, from the outside, no one’s really Capable of seeing. It’s gratifying when I get Some feedback on my rhyming, Yet that’s not what I need to get My self-assurance climbing. It’s when I read back what I wrote That fills me up with pleasure, Though I might be the only one Who sees it as a treasure.

Robert Frost was no Ilene Bauer. He couldn’t do a daily rhymed poem, I assume.

the important is what you write, no what others think, Robert Frost is unic, every one has his own style, enjoyed your touching poem

Aw, I think all of us who comment on your poems treasure them too. Thanks for not 'burying the treasure.' ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

What a STINK that would be. Some treasures must remain buried.

Your "pies" drift over the majority of the senses here. Perhaps the soup served here is Lotus -
