The Goodly Poet Poem by Bryan Norton

You have just had the fill of your say
In a poem with a will and a way
With a long, peaceful rest
You may wake up with zest
To enjoy what you wrote yesterday

As you read the new poem on your plate
And you know that your meaning is great
You are struck by the fact
Of the words that you lacked
When your brain was still foggy that late

You may cringe by the post that you made
When your poem was too quickly displayed
You may write more at length
For the sake of your strength
And the fact that your pride is delayed

For the poet is never quite read
Who is less than a word in his head
He will do more than rust
For the sake of a trust
In the future of reading ahead.
