All Of You Known To Be Poetasters Poem by Francis Duggan

All of you known to be poetasters of which I must add I am one
Despite lack of success you keep writing for that to you 'tis well done
Literary critics may choose to ignore you but they are rude in their own way
Since everyone who put their thoughts to paper in the wordsmith trade their part does play
For reviewing new books and literary works literary critics receive a good pay
Though perhaps amongst them not one renowned writer does that seem a fair thing to say?
In literature as in life there are far less winners than losers that's how it is and will always be
Not everyone can be amongst the elite that's how it does seem to me
In our Human World that is success driven only of the successful we read of or hear
Yet not everyone can be a winner that should seem obviously clear
To anyone with common sense, for one to succeed many are doomed to fail
Disappointed that their best effort to be successful at the end was of no avail
All you would be poets dismissed as poetasters though others don't sing your praises loud
At least you are having a good go and of that you ought to feel proud.
