Consider the "Humbler Poet"

I am the “humbler poet”

Humble in words and humble in thought

I pen in a simple way,

Whether ever to be read or not.

Who is to say what is pleasing?

Who is to judge what is trite?

The greatest poet on earth might be

A man never taught to write.

Excerpt from the poem AVOCATION by

Joan Tenner

(She is “The Humbler Poet.”)
