The Poem
By Marc Carver
It is not really about the poem
as much as you want it to be.
It is not really even about you
or the way you deliver
the words.
as much as you want it to be.
It is not really even about you
or the way you deliver
the words.
It is all about the people
who sit in the chairs
who come to listen
and in some ways give their own words meaning.
It is all about them
not you.
If they want to believe
they will.
Bravo! So nicely said.
