Nothing Deep and Thoughtful Here
Nothing Deep and Thoughtful Here
I like observing people
(Feel rhythm in this line?)
Hearing conversations
Round me as they dine
To you this could read boring
I don't care if it does
I'll carry on my writing
You want to go? - no fuss
We both agree a poet
Just writes what they want to
So boring yes, or otherwise
I'll write for me (not you)
There's nothing deep and thoughtful
About my verse writ here
I like it's rhythmic lilting
It's also me, sincere
But hang on Don, just go re-look
It's not simple, trite
You've written things worth thinking 'bout
Things you think are right

Thankyou to all you commenters and likers. There's always the battle between writing for myself on the one hand and wanting accolades from others. I have to convince myself if others like it fine, if not, still fine. Not easy. The need for praise is inborn.
Jason. I think exactly like you. Write for yourself. It's inborn. It keeps poets going.
