Many a True Word

Hello Poetry Lovers

Today I would like to feature Sharron Green’s wonderful and painfully true piece about us all as poets. It’s humorous and extremely observational.

From her inspirational Willing Words collection, full of similar profound pieces, this is really worth a read – but beware of uncomfortable truths!!! Ouch!

Many A True Word

Never trust a poet,

they are wearing a disguise,

you might think they are listening

but they are plotting lies.

Like magpies they are spying gems

that others haven’t spotted,

just watch and they will swipe them

and soon they’ll be re-potted.

You’ll think – where did that come from?

It sounds so fresh and new!

But someone else inspired it,

it could even be you!

So never trust a poet

they are at least two-faced,

though their work is eco friendly

as no word goes to waste.
