POETIC CROWN

I don’t want to remain a foolish clown

But I do like to wear the poetic crown

I no longer write my verse

And will surely be redeemed from my friends’ curse

 

I have more than two thousand poems to read.

The task is Herculean,  they may plead

Everyday I have to make a reading century.

This will certainly add to my linguistic repository.

 

Writing may make an exact man

But reading makes me a different human

I will know the nuances of my friends’ poems

They will spread out their resplendent beams

 

I won’t scribble any poem for thirty days

 My poetic friends may wonder at my strange ways

And doubt  the veracity of my emotional sayings.

But I will enjoy their delightful musings

Reading other poets' works helps us grow not only as writers, but as people. Sometimes, though, it does seem like a Herculean task, doesn't it? I liked the rhyming in this one and the expression of honest emotion. Lydi**

excellent JVL, puts me in mind of how I feel when I find a bunch of read requests and I just want to write. :)

Someone once told me. You are the best writer. I thank them and told them there is a million and more better then me. There is room for many kind of writers and thoughts. Each of look at life with our own view. I like the thoughts and the ending. I write new poems rarely. My life is very busy and I know some peace and calm. The problems of our world make me desire to write. Too much death and violence. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

If you can read two thousand poems, you will certainly wear the poetic crown.But your friends will miss your own musings.

This poem is for fun but with some reason
