A Poet's Lament


A Poet’s Lament



Does the world care
if I write yet one more poem?
Will the world dare
to read my next rhyme?

What I discovered a long time ago …
I write mostly for me,
Not the average Jo or Joe.

I play with words,
and thoughts.
I rub them together,
I mix and match,
Just because I can.

And if someone, say You,
happens to find my thoughts
and a light comes on somewhere
in your soul,
then well and good.

We both gain.
You have a fresh insight,
and I had a small part in that.
