Question: Why is being a poet so frustrating!? Is it because nobody really cares!?
Poet
Nightly surfing this web,
this cobweb for breath,
fresh air from fresh words,
oops a link broken,
poetry not spoken!.
Promises of romance,
of love, of compassion,
and passionate sex,
of truth, of honesty,
and all the insanity
neatly indexed!.
Angst again and again,
as I felt the spit,
of yet another page,
of this passionless pit!.
Drowning in chagrin,
examining the content,
searching for meaning,
among the mentally spent,
who ramble toward endless,
verbal destinations,
that lead to garbage laden
overfilled consternation!.
Irritated, bewildered,
lacking a clue,
ranting on my keyboard
for the talented few!.
Please! soak me, bind me, lure me,
into a verbal experience,
where the wind, the rain,
and the seasons greet me,
before I am spent!.
Browser still stalling
still more missing links,
text leading from nowhere,
circling drains in kitchen sinks!.
fFustrated and tired
I abandon the plight,
I click on the icon
of my favorite of sites!.
where I find the link,
that magically takes me home,
to the pages of a poet
I've always known!.
His stanzas are not broken
they flow like a river,
his words pound your heart
they always deliver!.
He doesn't use weird adjectives
to confuse your mind,
and it's not by accident,
it's by creative design!.
Oh, my readers can't you see,
his poetic world and its text based themes,
painting palette-less pictures for you to see,
all that he is and all that he dreams!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my opinion, the search is worth the effort!. Among the dross, I daily find grains of pure gold!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Imagine a field in front of you with a thousand cow pats, gently steaming, fragrant!.
Under one of those cow pats is a key to a safety deposit box containing a priceless, beautiful, diamond
You have no gloves!.
Not all those who post here are Byron or Blake admittedly, but there are the occasional gems!. Personally, I find the search exhilarating!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Admitting defeat
Sitting in the footprint of a dinosaur
Sunken to humbleness
Taking the one-month challenge to learn responsibility, progressiveness, acceptance, and what's it called!?
oh yeah LOVE

painting with words,
can be quite the hand full,
but what good is whey and curds,
with out a spider so playful,
its little legs crawling about,
sending chills from the surface,
to your spine and throughout,
enveloped like twine,
from the look on your face,
must be nice,
to be looking in to looking out,
best you rest, with this moons misting way,
the morrows are plenty,
as are these spiders and whey,
life's never so empty, as you run away,
such a lone little spider with little to say,
?

I think your poem is great!. You possess real talent!. Please nourish this gift, and don't ever let anyone discourage you!. People as a rule care, but rarely does one find someone like you!.
Talented people are often ostracized, out of jealousy!. They recognize their limitations, and are reluctanct to acknowledge your superiority!.
Don,t let this go to your head, but at the same time be yourself, and don't stoop to their level!.
Remember this: Talented people usually only feel comfortable around people like themselves!. Their group is restricted!. Often, you will feel alone and misunderstood!. All poets are sensitive!. The more sensitive you are the more you suffer!.Avoid pain by becoming friends with people that have similar interests and sensibilities!.
Good luck! Follow your dream!
