Some poets mass produce,
Poems that barely pass.
While others take their time,
To write a touch of class.
It's easy to scribe something,
Which we've all read before.
The trick is fresh originality,
A stylish poem of top drawer.
For there are so called poets,
Who will sausage factory many a sham.
And the poems I choose to read,
Are by proven poets who give a damn.
A perceptive write from a Poet of high caliber. Writing is a daunting endeavor. We must put our mind and heart to it. A powerful poem well written as always
