'' The World Of Poetry Is Open To Us All '' Poem by Bri Mar

I write poetry, some good some bad,
Rhymes, some happy while others are sad,
My aim in life is to make everyone glad,
So I do hope none of them appal.

There’s a wide variety, so take your pick,
Some will say, he makes me sick,
Others will comment, he must be thick,
A brain he needs to install.

Never be afraid to express what you feel,
In the face of your critics never kneel,
Your inner soul you must never conceal,
Over your work some critics will brawl.

You can’t please everyone all of the time,
Even trying to should be classed as a crime,
Looking for praise, you’ve a mountain to climb,
It’s really hard to enthral.

If torn to shreds do not take the huff,
Then walk away saying I’ve had enough,
Continue your writing and call their bluff,
Ensure you stand ten feet tall.

The secret is in enjoying what you write,
Your inner fire is what you’ll ignite,
If the thought of composing still does excite,
Then get out there and have a ball.

It’s an open market so don’t be afraid,
To reach the top your work must be displayed,
Maybe one day you will make that grade,
Stay focused for what is the long haul.

Success like beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
Don’t be afraid fire ignites from smoulder,
Your hidden gem could be in your folder,
