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.”
