As A Poet He's Celebrated

As a poet he's celebrated and his praises the critics sing Yet his esoteric writing to it does not have a poetic ring But that is only my opinion with which many would disagree What does seem a poet to many does not seem a poet to me I am only saying what I think my opinions are my own I'm dismissed as a poetaster in my own town hardly known The verse to me that is real poetry is seen as of another time And I am seen as quite old fashioned as I am a true fan of rhyme To me words that cannot be set to music is not poetry at all Many old poems in my schoolbook were fine songs I do recall One could sense the music in them fine poems as songs too many to name But time ticks on and brings with it changes and few things ever stay the same He's a celebrated poet the critics say none great as he But the one who is a poet to many does not seem a poet to me.
