So You Think You'Re a Poet

"So you think you're a poet?"
Yes, stranger, I do.
"You merely post poems on Poet's Stew!!!"

Sir, I don't think it's nice
"What did I say?"
That you won't stay away.

"That's awful unfair..."
Now listen here! Take a look!
I bet you can't say that your poem is in a book.

I just got my Poetry Anthology yesterday, and I'm psyched that my poem is in a book along with many other talented poets' works!!!

Good for you, Bridget! I'm thrilled that some of my poems appear in the new anthology, too. Don't let anyone ever put you down for being published on a site with some of the best living poets in the world today! Period!
