Fred Elorm Hornuvo Poet Free verse

Son of the Earth

I am a descendant of the earth
I was built to shoulder 
Wide range of forthcomings
To stand tall
When situations lower heights
Employ strenuous efforts
To guide and protect
Smile when numerous demands frown
I give out my all and expect 
Not less than an appreciation
I am emotionally sensitive
But supposed to endure
Even when it hurts to the core
I barely sleep
My nights are full of mind travels 
Cohabited with heavy traffic
I shed tears within
Which embolden me to strive
And to never give up
I go through a lot
I am a human too
But one thing for sure is
I was built for this
I am a man, A poet .

Sally Eslinger June 18, 2023 at 5:38 AM Fred, i just realized why was thrown by the great emphasis on MAN in ur last line —Because that was nade already enphatic by being told you are a Son —3rd word we read here. Might I suggest ur last line be something like —I am a Man, a Poet. The Poet IMHO needs enphasis as it will sum up ur vast being! Anyway…APPLAUSE Fred Elorm Hornuvo June 18, 2023 at 5:47 AM Thanks a lot.

Sally Eslinger June 18, 2023 at 5:21 AM Hello Fred! How wonderful to meet you in this insightful, flowing poem. Your lines each contain a volume. You do not know me, so do not know, but oh! You are indeed my poet brother! Was hoping your last line would read,”I am a poet!” You should take a look at the 1st poem inposted on PS,bquite similar in many ways. Keep that muse of yours coming!
