About the Poem
The best poem you ever read just may be your own. My hope is that something you have written has touched you thus so. Reach into your heart and never think you are not a poet just because you believe others to be greater poets.
You are your own and your poetry means the most to you.
The Best Poem You Ever Read |
| by wayoutwalt |
| Is not necessarily by Thoreau Or for that matter Keats or Shelley Or Edgar Allan Poe It might not be amongst the Dusty books there on the shelf The greatest poem you ever read May just be written by yourself Did you ever write a poem? That just made you softly sigh Or was there one that emotion Made you bittersweetly cry Is there one that was born to you? That made you wholly believe Words weren't born long time ago You yourself can conceive This poem that I am writing Is not the best there ever was But few poems can do for me What my own poetry does When you think of Percey Shelly And when you think of ole John Keats Remember theirs is their own Even if You wish to match their feats I hope the poetry you respect From which have made you grown I hope the greatest poem you ever read Was one you call your own The End (sentiment) |

WOWalt I think your poem is the epitome of poems. My feelings are the same. Although, I don't feel any of my poems are the greatest I have ever read, I do think they are good and that is really what counts. If you put down your heart with words and have conveyed a message to someone, it does not matter about spelling, grammar,or even rhyme scheme. I particularly like the poems of the late Tupac Shakur. Definately does not fit the "mold" of a good poem, but they are very moving and you learn to know the man, even though he is not among us now. He left his heart behind. The best poem I have ever read will be the same answer every time, the last one I read that moved me or told me something about the artist. You conveyed your message well, so at this moment THIS poem is the best I have read.
Happy
I Enjoy the wonderful poems u wrote

I Love Poetry, but I love my own Poems better than Any other, Well Some of mine... I know exactly What you are talking about. Deep Poems are good, But Shallow Poems.. Like This Also are Great. You can get what you don't get from Deep Poetry from The Shallow ones...
