Connie Marcum Wong Poet Free verse

Poets At-Large

Speak to me in words I understand.
Don’t let pompous attitude embroiled
With your intellectual narcissism
Cause you to judge my words with disdain
Because I write with veracity and simplicity.
Humility has such rich virtue,
And when all material matter
Is spent, is what will be remembered.
There is such evidence left by
Humble poets in their timeless poetry.

Carole Cookie Arnold January 4, 2010 at 10:18 PM So very true. This was the point I tried to reveal in Pithy Empurpled Writing. Your poem shows how important it is to write from the heart with simplicity. If words pass the understanding who benefits from what we pen. Great Job Love cookie
