If You Want An Honest Opinion On Your Poetry Poem by Francis Duggan

Since I have never been to Uni and I do not have a Literary Degree
If you want to know about poetry go ask someone other than me
I doubt my own worth as a writer I've never said I was a poet
Ask someone other for an opinion on your writing a literary critic or one of literary note
One who knows what they are on about it can be a he or a she
Though on who is or is not a good writer the experts don't always agree
As for me I'm just your average old fashioned rhymer and though I've written a whole heap of stuff
I've always liked verse with rhyme in it one might say I am a rhyme buff
I am not into modern poetry such does not interest me at all
But the names of the famous dead rhyming poets are names that I love to recall
But having said that I am not a judge of rhyme verse for such I am not qualified
That I am not well educated is a fact I never try to hide
So if you want an honest opinion on your poetry I am one that you ought to ignore
For I am just your average rhyme buff that's all I am and nothing more.
