A Poetic Average Joe
Some are written to tug at heart strings;
Some are written to tickle funny bones;
Some are written as romantic love themes;
Some are written about being all alone.
Diversity is my objective;
Creativity, my artistic aim;
I am just your regular average Joe,
With no credentials or writing fame.
I hide behind the mantra
That I write simply to please myself;
Not admitting out loud to anyone,
Dreams of poems adding to my wealth.
There are many others out there
Who behave just like me;
Pouring their souls into rhyming words
And calling it poetry.
Very few will be successful
And achieve wide acclaim,
But lacking recognition
We’ll all keep writing just the same.
So I’ll keep creating average poetry,
By a regular, average Joe,
And hang on to my day job,
But of my dream I won’t let go.
