Not Yet a Favourite

Not Yet A Favorite
________________________________
Not yet am I a favourite poet,
but someday, Maybe I shall be
someone will breath in my words
and recite them back to me.

I will take you on adventures
help you to see my emotion
and to me you will be drawn
for some of this penned devotion.

I hope to give something back
and perhaps gain admiration
for this being a beloved passion
could become an occupation.

It doesn't matter if it never happens
I still really love to write
and share the muse of everything
with beauty and delight.

Yes Ma'am, I have only been here a few days, and I am honestly in amazement by all the warm out pour I received thus far. Welcome to the "Soup" as well. I wasn't trying to make people feel bad for me, I just thought this poem would be a honest and fun piece. As a writer, we know things takes time, I just try to make the most of mine..like anyone else. Take care and Thank you for being so nice :)

Jessica it is not about being a fav, it is about being proud of your work, if you are then post it here, whether the critique is good or bad you will learn from it, if you love to write, then just write, ...remember you cannot please everyone....keep writing...David
