What makes a poem worth reading? What makes it worth our while?
What makes a poem worth heeding? What makes it worth a smile?
What makes a poem worth caring? What makes it worth the rhyme?
What makes a poem worth sharing? What makes it worth our time?
Well, first of all, I wrote it out! Quite freely without force…
I asked, what is this all about? Then edited, of course…
I said the text, till not complexed… improving here and there…
So that reciters won't be vexed… because you see, I care…
And Grammarly was like a friend... it underlined mistakes…
It helped me to the very end… right through my coffee breaks…
And all at once, I stopped and smiled… the poem's lines were done…
I typed it out, till saved and filed… then shared with everyone…
Uploaded to the Internet… on poemhunter now…
Where visitors can go and get… these words I penned somehow…
And where my ebook's waiting, too… for visitors to find…
My poems penned for folks like you… for God and all Mankind…
