Some Ask Me To Read And Rate Their Poetry Poem by Francis Duggan

Some ask me to read and rate their poetry though their poetry seems all good to me
I am not a literary critic and I do not have a literary degree
In a Literary World of millions of wordsmiths not everybody can be great
Though some the critics do rate highly and many they do not even rate
What's good to me not to another on few things we ever agree
The poets that the critics rate highly their poetry does little for me
The rhymers nowadays out of fashion suppose that rhyme did have it's time
I too must be one quite outdated since I have a liking for rhyme
And who is or is not a good poet on such a question you won't find harmony
In literature as in life in general few ever share the same idea
Good critical reviews can make a writer I only say here what is true
Whilst some will tell you from life we receive what happens for to be our due
Some ask me to read and rate their poetry though their work to me seems quite okay
I am not a literary critic I just pen a few rhymes every day.
