They Stood Aloof
The new poet craved a just tad of attention,
Not realizing others were at a poet laureates'convention.
Or, let's say, that was simply their disdain and heartless ideation!
I took her sincere hand, and told her that her poem was truly grand.
Her eyes lit up, as though hearing a big band!
I felt so good giving another a smiling hand.
I do know what it's like to be new.
And those first, warm supportive comments come into you.
Hope, optimism then rise and gleam brightly, how true!
" Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."
