James Mclain 🎸 Poem by James McLain

For over ten years
I have posted here under the name of
is it poetry and a few other names now lost
And lost to time
And the large influxes of all the new poets
That here have since come.

No one can read all that has been written
To date
Without giving up what little time that those
Whom contribute would make.

But my name is who I am and being who I am
Is who you are
Nothing has changed since you now know my name
Except the change for my daughter to find me more
Easily when she starts to Google
Poetry James McLain.

To many thought that by writing under the name of
is it poetry
That I was asking you to consider if what was written
Was poetry
It was not it was the original nature of a name unique to see
And what by me for you
That was written by me meant for you to read.

So I am me, who I am who I've always been and I thank you
For you who I am.
