Poetic Equality

Poetic Equality

Modesty and humility
is a poet’s best quality
no matter the training or family
the source is the Almighty

Blessings are abundant
with the One who grants it
with a little talent
we cannot take for granted

A poetic pen
that makes a poet grin
was with the One in heaven
before the world beginning

In his image we were created equal, though different,
but not entirely.

Very Good,

Barbara, I like it. Except for the last two lines. (werel) should be "were". Maybe those last lines should read: "In his Image Created were we, equal but different, but not entirely" just my opinion. Good job all and all. thanks, Eddie "if I trip over a can of beer, am I drunk?"

I liked this piece, but it seemed to stop before you said it all. As to the Eduardo that, “if I trip over a can of beer, am I drunk?” I thinkl the answer is "if you had a can of beer, then did trip over" I would worry,LOL Barbara, Keep up the good work, Yours, Ian.T

I'll have you know

I haven't dropped a drink. The drunker I sit her the longer I get or something to that effect. Anyway Barbara, I liked the poem a lot. Poets being modest and with humility? Wow, that would be something wouldn't it. *LOL* most of us are extroverts of a high order. *G* Well done Barbara. Very well done. Respectfully, Rett: "We can all be thankful that Picasso wasn't a plastic surgeon." Rett
