We all have to learn
The nuances
Of how to pave our ways
Through this poetic site
You rarely visit my page
Gradually you shall become
As adept as I have,
To meander the courses here,
Like a serpent avoiding
The machinations of wiles
So let be it your stance too,
You will learn a trick or two,
Praise is all we hanker for,
No not I alone, nor you
Is an exception, that’s true?
Comments
Hello my love.
I respectfully disagree. Praise is not all we desire. Of course I can only speak for myself, but of all the advantages offered by posting on a poetry website, the one I desire the most is critical commentary about my poetry that I may improve. Particularly my epic poem if I could find anyone with the time and inclination to help me with it. Praise is satisfying, but not as much as seeing my epic improve.
I would rather suffer the iniquities of a thousand negative comments intelligently arrived at than have a single soul tell me my poem is good. I want to write the best epic poem I can and that means I must be challenged to change.
I put my head in the guillotine willingly.

Glad you have taken over my pseudonym
given to me by the lady poet here
and who makes it a point never to read me anymore.
As racialism is not in my blood
i forgave her and now
u enjoy this name much more .
Write what you will ,
i can't say much
as a poet
i ain't one as such
Self obession.
If yow want people to visit your page writing better poet.
