Poet Destroyer A

When I first heard your name
I felt you detest this poetry game

But you are a lover,
A giver of courage
That my poetry race is not over
And to my writing a new page.

You ignite in me a new flame,
And allowed me in your hall of fame.

You are a mother,
Mother of the poetry village 
Your soup makes me forge further
Your love, my great advantage.

For poetry, all I can tame, 
For your stopping by never leaves me the same.
