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.
