After 20 years, I recently started writing again. I'm a novice poet still learning this craft, very rough around the edges, but am truly enjoying this opportunity to express myself and read other poets' amazing creations.

I love this poem because it reminds me to stop every now and then to look out the window:
THE SPARROW
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
A LITTLE bird, with plumage brown,
Beside my window flutters down,
A moment chirps its little strain,
Then taps upon my window-pane,
And chirps again, and hops along,
To call my notice to its song;
But I work on, nor heed its lay,
Till, in neglect, it flies away.
So birds of peace and hope and love
Come fluttering earthward from above,
To settle on life's window-sills,
And ease our load of earthly ills;
But we, in traffic's rush and din
Too deep engaged to let them in,
With deadened heart and sense plod on,
Nor know our loss till they are gone.

Consider before you comment: "Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius."

This distorted mirror is unkind Defining bulges and sags
-
When noble hate commands the day
And blissful mist obscures the play -
Losing time, floating downstream
Days spent watching imitation lives -
Do not disdain my rumpled clothes
My dirty hair, this sun-worn skin -
Like Orville Reddenbacher I make poetry pop, not like the weasel. I’m an artist. The page is my easel

First steps are very hard for me.
It’s not my fault, -
Give me the gift of something real
