Who Cares About Poets?

Not very many,
but there are poets a plenty.
Poets care about their own word,
even when it flies away like bird.
Very few really care about others,
must less the word of our poet sisters and brothers.


At times poets fall to deaf ear,
but to the poet his meanings are clear.
My whole family knows I write,
but none of the fools visit my site.
Yet I write on expressing,
at times deep soul confessing.


I guess we shouldn't judge
the world by our family dears,
or other associates and friend peers.
This is just my world of poetic adventure,
hope other poets experience a better venture.
It would be nice to see,
a review from members of the family.


Most of my life I've been alone,
so I'm use to others being gone.
My word will never leave,
it is what my heart and soul percieve.
In my word I live,
I have hardly anything else to give.


Sobeit.

Grady, I wonder how many other families are like that. I bet many are the same way. I bet mine never reads my poetry either. That's just the way families are. We want them to care, but they are too involved in their own lives. Grady, I am looking for your poem "Road to Well". I wanted to read it. Do you still have a copy of it? If you do, please let me see it. I identify with that title.

Poets have started and stopped wars, created community programs, called out on injustices around the world, and we're just gettin' started. Speak out always, no matter who tries to shut you up my Brotha!

This poem, "Who Cares About Poets?" makes me think on the mission of the Poets.

I have enjoyed the reading, and have learned from
"Who Cares About Poets?".

Let Your heart synchronize wonders... Keep Your pen writing them in full.

I salute Yoy, Sublime Poet!

Nice to see you back! You (and your words) have been missed.

This one is a beautiful testament to why poets write--because they want (or have ) to. BRAVO!

(((HUGS))) and love, karla.
