Two Kinds of Poets

The Timeless and the Timely are so close and yet so far,
The former scans beyond the Earth and sees the farthest star.

The latter reads the fashions of the fleeting trends today.
Tailoring his poems, fearing what the critics say.

Steve - I reckon that what truly matters is what the readers experience while reading the poem - When they share your heart and soul feel your Joy as well as your pain - You are a poet regardless of what anyone else thinks, says or sees - Poetry to me is a internal gift of expression, God Bless and I did truly love the expression in your poetry, MJ
