Not Mine But Theirs

Not Mine but Theirs

I would like to start a poetry trend
But am not sure where it should end
With a challenge could we all compete
Even after hearing pattering of little feet.

If my poems were to become problematic
Should they always create much static
How can I use my poems for ammunition?
So they can compete in the competition.

Maybe I'm becoming obsessed and brilliant
And your responses to my poems are resilient
While I am writing my poems upstairs
Thought was not mine but had been theirs.
