Lowly Poet

I'm just a lowly poet
make no boast of being the best
I don't mind constructive comments
I can take them with the best.

But words that are just plain hurtful
about the feelings from one's heart
are not necessary for others to leave
my poems are for me a part

Of my heat's most sacred longings
my sadness and days of glee
I hope that what I think of you
No one will ever think of me.

    a good piece, i think a lot of constructive critiques are misguided, people seem to think they can be mean when leaving a page and half on how to change your poem when their own poetry does not live up to their own suggestions to others i think we should all spill ink and laugh or cry, depending on what poem you are wishing to post at the time.

    That's the reason I put on this contest

    Same thing happened to me. Your second stanza seems incomplete...I think 3rd line " leave, for" But jolly good show. Thanks for entering and best of luck in the contest!
