There are poets better than me: <br />Many known, and many more unknown- <br />They have language I don’t have <br />And an ability to surprise in ways I cannot <br />And the beauty of their sound is a beauty beyond mine- <br />They have worlds I do not know <br />And rhythms I cannot reach <br />They can entertain as I cannot- <br />And they see and feel what I cannot; <br />They are better than me: <br /> <br />Other poets are better than me <br />Greater than me <br />More than me. <br /> <br />And the only consolation is <br />Writing what I feel I must- <br />Going on.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-are-poets-better-than-me/
