If A Poem Inspires... Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

A poet does not write, to gain wealth, and fame, they are sharing,
their experiences, and visions, from this life's game.

Thousands of words, are printed everyday, poets are honest,
expressing, in their own special way.

Anyone can tell stories, of others, we often hear,
only a poet can express, emotions, and feelings, they hold so dear.

Everyone will not always agree, with a poets creations, all of the time,
If a poem, inspires their imagination, the thoughts,
will be forever stored, in their mind.
