They Are the Best

They Are the Best Many times I wondered whether or not All my precious poems I have sought Would a poet laureate make me one day Of either state or our country, it just may. An artistic poet someone once called me, The way I write and arrange my poems to be; Verbs used and way they are conjugated And with the subject, how I have related. Poems, like writing, about love and life; Maybe with grief containing some strife; Humor also is a subject I write about; Think of world's troubles and all its doubt. Poets may interpret my poems as strange; How sentence with subject and verb, I arrange And often have put my poems to the test; People prefer mine and of all say they are the best.
