An Admission Of Truth Poem by David Taylor
An Admission Of Truth
Now here’s a short poem
that I oft thought of showing.
A bit of a lark,
or a thing of the dark?
Above all an admission of truth.
Now I’ve joined you all here
for less than a year.
On this journey so dear,
of poems diverse and astute.
Of feelings sublime that sometimes do rhyme.
Of anger and angst, or a grievance to hoot.
Well I have to admit
that I sometimes do dream,
of the style and the wit,
to make you all swoon, and to gasp,
with each brilliant line that I’ve writ.
I think to myself in a self centred way,
what have I to say that can give,
you all an experience, you’ll never forget.
A verse so sublime
that never with time
will it loose its importance.
Not even in death!
Well if I find it I’m sure
you’ll be the first to endure
the full force of its eloquent depth.
But until then and for now the best I can do
is this sorry attempt, at a poem with serious intent.
And if it cannot aspire to set you on fire,
I hope that at least you’re content.
And perhaps, well maybe, you have to admit,
there’s a poem, or two, you wish you had writ.
your easy flow... voice in words lets us know how you value us............
Hi David, Thanks for taking the time to read my poem. I've enjoyed several of yours. I think if we can come close to making people know how and what we are feeling, we have accomplished something. But writing something that really sticks in someone's mind is such a compliment. Good Luck, Mike
A sorry attempt it most certainly isn't. Humility, wit and fine penning (plus sentiments shared by many) all in one... grand. t x
Hello David, I like this poem, I like the humour in it and the message you are trying to convey..... I think we all feel like that about our work, if only one day we will leave one to be remembered by.... Great concept and an interesting read! HG: -) xx

David, let me be the first to say that this is great. First you've captured how we all feel about our work. Our hopes, aspiration, dreams. Yes, it is all there and more and the writing is good as well. Thanks for sharing it. I gave it a 10 because it deserves it. David
