When a Poem Gets Few Reads

When a Poem Gets Few Reads By Elton Camp Although I am hardly a bard, On my poem I worked so hard The best words I tried to choose And trite expressions not to use When finally I had got through And done the best that I knew, I posted it onto the poetry site Hoping it might bring delight Several hours later I felt so low Not even one person did there go Days later, it was read by just two I felt sad that readers were so few But my writing it was not a mistake Lack of interest is a chance you take After all, how many folks can say, “I wrote a poem back on that day.”
