HOMAGE TO MY FELLOW POETS

Some say;
I wish, I could write,
Like you.


This I know Is true.

 



Then again:
I wish I could write.
Like you,
This I know is true.

I was wondering;
Where do I,
Inject into a poem,
A pregnant pause?
There's no maybe's.
I treat all my poems:
As my babies.

It took me a while to be happy writing like myself. The journey was rough but I'm glad.

And quite rightly too! They are vour creations: Born somewhere in the recesses of your being, and birthed through the process of gestating, stacking, stirring, laying out letters, like cells, in a unique order. Welcome to the World, "Homage to my Fellow Poets".
