So many published poets from Kentucky. <br />I never dreamed myself among so many. <br />Quite dismayed reading their airs <br />When I compare mine to theirs. <br /> <br />I am one lonely voice. <br />I offer but a choice. <br />Will I be read or heard <br />Or lost among the herd? <br /> <br />Among so many singing birds <br />A canary is quite ordinary <br />But its voice is surely worth <br />A hearing on this earth. <br /> <br />Many poets come from Kentucky. <br />Not all claim my abode. <br />A canary may be ordinary, <br />At least it’s heard by those nearby. <br /> <br /> <br />(After reading A Brief Anthology Of Kentucky Poetry/June 28,2007)<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-canary-sings-its-worth/
