Could I write this better
Do the words really shine

Is my thought understood
Will most think it is fine

Does the title fit in
Or did I miss a sign

Might this be too foolish
Have I picked the right time

Oh the poet's dilemma
Such a reason to pine

We're battered in question
Will the answers sound fine

That's it for this writing
I'm producing a wine

One void of rich flavor
It taste more like brine

Could I write this better
I'll ask God for each line

I'de like to thank you for welcoming me to the forum.  I also liked the poem you posted.  I understand the way you feel.  I feel that exact way on everything I write.

We all can share this feeling with you for all of us wonder if our words are timed right and will be understood. I don't think there is a poet who will not feel the words of this poem. Very well said. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Roger....I know how you feel and still get the jitters just before I post,
wondering if I could have done better.  
But, you have written this very well.  Perfect my friend.

Thank you for the comments so far.  I must admit that I was not sure whether to call this poem insightful or humorous. I guess that would depend on the mood of the reader.  Writing is an amazing challenge, and I love it.  Rog

Roger YES they sound absolutely excellent.

Timed and rhymed, with flow divine
Dear poet I'm sipping this fabulous wine
Don't fret or worry, fuss of fume
You'll see this at the top often and soon


          
Love and warm stuff

I'm with Roger on whether the poem was insightful or humorous, but anyhow, I though it was creative, and I often find myself feeling like this.  I liked!
