Some Readers Questioning

Some readers questioning my quest,
 Of modern poets- who is the best?
 Although, the question is not  hard,
 I shy away with  a grieving heart

 Inside of me a constant  fight,
 Because, I cannot be forthright
 *
 To name  the others?....  I hate to lie!  
  Or praise myself ? .... I'm just too shy!

This is my first verse in English. I tried to translate my verse from Russian. Do not carp at me. With regards. Alex
