Who Makes Poets Grow
What Makes Poets Grow?
Dearest Poet flowers, in the snow.
I query, who helps you in poetry to grow?
Any, poet fresh, as the first Spring rain.
Who praises you, yet have nothing to gain.
They will never pretend they know it all.
If so, they are akin to mindless Macaws.
Some searching and study, you must do.
For there are many types, I am telling you.
This is far from a fun, international, social club.
It is a real poetry site, not for faux poetry duds.
Be your best, no need to pass another's queries
Boy, I do discern that to be so incredibly weary!
A great poet is totally unafraid to be themselves.
Not be a shiny pot on a poetic populariity shelf!
Great men and women stand out from all others.
Ordinary men and women, rather disguise their
souls and sadly, like dull sofa covers!
You have only one life to live, it is today.
I urge you to be totally genuine, so pen away!
