Poets Are Few

Poetasters are many and poets are few One might say to that tell us something that's new Out of millions a small per-centage make the grade But every writer is needed in the Wordsmith Trade Without the not so good poets we would not have the great And though only the best the readers celebrate Each writer important in her or his own way And that despite what the literary critics do say So many young writers do daydream of fame But not everyone can become a great name Like in all walks of life for one to be wealthy many in poverty Suppose that's how it is and it will always be Poetasters are many and poets are rare A fact I am sure of which you are aware.
