I Have Been Told Poem by Francis Duggan

I have been told i only write doggerel that i am a literary disgrace
By people that i only do know of that i never have met face to face
They set themselves up as my judges by judging me for things i like to do
Many of us can be judge-mental and i can be judge-mental too
But they do not deter me from rhyming what i love doing why should i give away
Because of those who do not like my style of writing who online on me have their say
I do not solicit online for positive feedback or negative comments i do not invite
Negative comments will never stop me of rhyming since it is for enjoyment i do write
When others praise or criticize what i do this is their business and this with me does suit me fine
Since what is another person's business is hardly any business of mine
Online i never pass judgement on others each to their own as some do say
I just carry on dabbling in rhyme suppose i was born to live in this way
I have been told i only write doggerel by people i do not even know
Some people in their words on others their lacking in compassion and empathy show.
