A hundred years from now may be. <br />Someone will read my poetry <br /> and wonder how I came to write <br /> my simple thoughts in black and white. <br />Amused by my naiveté <br /> my complete lack of sophistry <br />Perhaps in pity they will give, <br />me credit as a primitive. <br />Just as some critics do today. <br />Poke fun at the old fashioned way <br /> in which past poets used to write. <br />Immortal verse which can delight <br /> their readers of the present day. <br /> Despite what critics have to say. <br /> <br />15-Dec-07<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/improbale-dream-for-my-fellow-poets/
