what gauge do you use to measure your poetry
i like it best when my mind it reflects
yet
so few of the poems true to me
are the ones that others find "like"-worthy
when i read the lines of others
etched into the wrinkles on their face
it speaks to me
because i have the same worries etched into my brow
when others read my words
perhaps
that which resonates with them is what draws them the most
thus
the best poetry is a reflection on others?
(it demands letting go of yourself)
