Notes About The Poem

Value Yourself More Then Critics

it was time
spent my dime
on soup prime
try to rhyme
long hard climb

lyrics weak
critics seek
petty clique
black and bleak
tried turn cheek

What you write is a winner every time, what others think is immaterial. Write for thee not they. Hope your new year is off to a good start Eve. Tom

If people could express their thoughts as well as you have just done, it would be an entirely different world! Enjoyed!
