Why do you not see?
That the words I write
Are just my poetry
Shouted from the heart
Each beat caught
Though it’s late at night
Come read and then say
That was it yesterday?
Or even today
Was it started,
On two days?
Did midnight overlay,
The theme?
Was just for you
The words so clean
A poem did I hear
I didn't care
I wrote, yet.
Did you read?
I have reached out
Now do you care?
That I was there
Standing by your side
Think on
Now let me free
A poet with liberty
To write
Then is read
It is so early
I'm off to bed

That was what I thought
If it is Ian T., he would know that his words are widely read here and everywhere posted. I yet hesitate a bit when I don't have much to offer to yours or others' works but this doesn't mean you're not read.
This seems to be "out of cuff" but a good invitation from the side of any and every poet who would like his words to be read. I thought the second and third stanza .
Just thought I'd suggest but it is your decision and your piece of course
My regards to you and yours.

Thank you very much for your visit, I always look out for visitors.
I think we suffer from not communicating with others.
It's so good to be read and even better when there is a note left, it use to be better when the visit counter was there but I keep trying lol.
Your saying "out of cuff" the way to use that is to say "Off The Cuff" it is to indicate a short saying, in reference to something, but spoken at the time, ad lib is another etc:
Have a look at those short things as they can be used in other ways..
You take care and I always love to see you have visited me here this piece was just a moment in time to write in a different way.
Yours as always Ian.T.
off the cuff
Hello Ian
Sorry for using an idiom without checking myself what exactly it means. I remember reading it a while ago to mean writing with much fun or "spontaneously" . I absolutely don't mean it lacks preparation as I've just checked.
Again sorry, you know I didn't mean it, don't you?
Rula
Actually you were right the first time, it was written without preparing, most of my writes are from instant mix lol.
Your comments will never cause any problems with me, I find all comments are good.
Thank you again Young Lady, I look forward to all your words.
Thinking of you, Yours Ian.T
Hi
Late at night the doubts of old men manifest. I know this 'cause I Am one lol. But this was a fun read even if a bit vertical in form. Guess I just helped disprove you doubt lol............stan

Us oldies must comment on each others works, this was just to fill in some time.
Most of my writing is "spontaneous" (glad I have spell checker) I still have some of the beer mats, I use to write on.
I loved writing for people but we stay in most days and evenings now so another thing of mine is shut down.
This one I tried to write short lines, that's why it looks vertical, Glad you liked it all the same..
Thanks youngun for your visit, I am going to ramp up my works so the old ones can come visit LOL..
Yours Ian.T
read my comment... to your comment
on mine
let's open the minds of all
and make a resolution
read one poetry dormant....
then say a word
before you post yours
to be heard
Loved
this is a new piece nothing to do with anything written before.
I is just putting a few bits together.
Now you may comment on this new piece please..
Take care young Bard have a great evening, Yours Ian.T
thanks
the sunsets each day
be far or nearby
can't say
but tis always rising some way
likewise poets read comment
and shy away
not many like I an and Loved
for so long do stay
as we two safely
with words play
it needs courage by the way
on every pedestal
you can't place a stutue
like one of Ian and bard combined
can you
