Wadded-Up Poem

"It was a good poem,"
the poet said to his poet friend.
"I think it's your best work yet."

The poet offered a smirk 
as he watched his wadded-up poem float away.
"It doesn't matter, no one would have read it anyway."

I sometimes post, leave a wee while, think " that's shite " then delete thus saving others having to suffer reading. Casual indeed is your style

we are our own worst critics...no matter how much others might like our work, every so often we feel like putting it in a pile and burning it all...
