I once went looking for a poet
Greater than Bukowski’s dead ghost
Pouring out a splash of scotch
Dreams of the distant Western Coast
The classics left me feeling passé
Champing at the bit for a place to belong
Needing the real, raw, avant-garde
I’ve finally realized, you’ve all been here all along!
I came to the realization recently that my favorite poets are among us here on WP. We may never get rich or famous from our words, but I adore this community we have built. Thank you all for sharing your words, thoughts & lives with me. I am a better person for it. 💚🍀😀
