The Zing Of Amazing Poetry! Poem by Denis Martindale

Sometimes we write for ourselves,
yet share it with others
and who knows the amazing good
that such poetry achieves?
OK, some won't like
certain words or phrases,
OK, some won't like
the length of the lines or verses,
OK, some won't like
the beginnings or the ends...

But we will learn that
some liked this or some liked that...
maybe just a fantastic phrase
that sparks off a new poem,
maybe just a smile now and then...
There's something amazing about poetry
and amazing poetry happens,
spontaneously, just like that,
yes, every single day!
