Poetry Is

Poetry Is Poetry is a lonely craft Those of us that write must be slightly daft For every thousand writers of the rhyme Only one reader follows and not all of the time Even the closest of relatives and one's dearest friends Care little for the poets works and little encouragement lends So write on lonely poet write on if you must Chances are your books will soon be covered with dust And as you toil on with your craft secluded and alone Be aware there’ll be no mention of your writes on your final gravestone
