Why Do Today's Poets Write

Rating: 5.0


I've been writing seventeen years,
Is it my purpose, in this life,
or am I that board, o'h so dear.

Who is the decision maker of poetry today,
All the famous have passed on, now writers unknown,
Can I create A new type, or style, or they all in stone today.

I don't know why I write, wrong thing,
If I was searching for riches, or fame,
Very few even friends, want to read the thoughts we bring.

Is it A cheap way, just to pass time each day,
They are important to us, no where to store for centuries,
For now when we die, all our creations, will be thrown away.
