Verse Person

Verse person The modest poet is the one who writes poems the excerpts call crap; think of the lady poet who wrote rhyming verses and was interviewed by Terry Wogan, who made fun of her poetry At poetry meetings, which are not unlike AA meetings were narcissists talk endlessly absorbed by their navel-gazing, they said she was crap but I tell you this When a poet is in a loving mood sits down to write something beautiful and caressing In a way, he gives you, his soul. Put it on a platter in front of you so you can prod it and feel its texture. He has no defense against your scorn, your derision hurts him deeply, the poem was for you. He looks around and will find people who understand he is not trying to change the world but tell you of the beauty of its beauty. Finally, no one sits down with the intention of writing a ty poem.
