My dearest Reader,

while you read this i want you to understand that you mean a lot to me

You are my reader...
and I'll be your Poet.
For sure strong in my words,
Love in my song, and all along you'll know this.

Be my audience,
I will portray your Bard.
Move my music
and learn to sing along.

Through the sad poems,
Through the happy ones too...
Sing true,
Stand by me as I stand by you.

As a little boy I did never knew the proper way to write a verse,
Never knew what to write,
Never knew not to curse.

Yet I sit here today...
And type away...
My feelings of anger...
And regret.

You my reader are why I thrive,
Either one comment or five,
You keep me alive.

My songs about pain,
May they protect you all.
And my merry happy songs
might they cheer you're soul.

Where ever you go keep the word close to ear,
and my verse close to lips.

One day we will thrive,
But today we are learning to survive.

My your travels into the poetic word bring you peace of mind and light of foot.

Author's Note

Thank you dear reader.

Kaspar Carr,

Inspirational, clean and inclusive - nice way to implement participation with your reader.

You are a poet!

This is a great piece, I enjoyed being brought into your thoughts and onto the screen as you tribute this to us (the reader). Excellent job on originality - I really enjoyed the format as well.

This was my favorite line, because as we all know, there is far too much of this in our writing society:

"As a little boy I did never knew the proper way to write a verse,
Never knew what to write,
Never knew not to curse."

I appreciate your sharing this poem with all of us here...

Great job, keep writing,

OH, could you possibly place this in the contest Enlightenment on Poetic Infusion Society? If you have not yet entered, that is.
