AS YOU READ MY POEMS You''re my "audience of one." I hope to hold you captive From the moment you''ve begun. But, alas, it''s for you to decide If staying is worth your while. Will you decide I bore you Or will you like my style? Perhaps the subjects covered Will draw you back again, Curious to see what truths I see In the rhymes that I have penned. These are but lessons I have learned, Many that I feel should not be spurned. You may applaud or disagree, And, without repercussion, take issue with me. I beg you to enter with an open mind, Taking time to think through and digest. Discard what, to you, does not apply But linger o''er what you deem best. And, if there''s but one you can pass along , ''Twill serve to fill my heart with song.
