I Love Poets

I love poets and poetry
They’re just so much a part of me
Other folks may not agree
They’re good enough for me

I love poets of every kind
They’re kindred folk of soul and mind
No matter what they write, I find
They’re good enough for me

Some poems aren’t great, but full of dreams
And they’re not Poe by any means
If written from the heart, it seems
They’re wonderful to me

Some poems are too abstract for me
They’re really not my cup of tea
But he who wrote the poetry
Is a bosom friend to me

Poets have no scheme or goal
Except expression of the soul
They are like brothers as a whole
They all are  family

Poets tenderly convey
In verses what they have to say
They see life in a different way
And that’s good enough for me

Liz--This is beautiful.....  Who would have thought that ALL poets could be captured so accurately in one poem?  You've done a beautiful job!

Wow I love this poem ... it's great !!!!

 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time

Dear Poets,
Thank you all for your wonderful remarks. I wish I could respond to each one individually, but sometimes I just can't keep up.
Anyway, you're all poets, right? So I love you all

Liz, I never visit the pub I don't know why, i'm missing some good stuff here. You give us all a sweet lift, with these words of family and friend, and that too is good enough for me.
