Food for Thought
(For your next poem)
I could have helped you here
but I dislike death poems
I have struggled years
rather decades to stay alive
there is only one life
It is my surmise
so in life
I'd positively like to rise
and
help others likewise.
I can give you a fish to eat
but rather I'd lay a net
for you to catch aplenty
so more will share
what lies within
'tis sheer poetry
all Neopoets know it
and soon you also will

This sounds like...
a reply to someone asking for a critique on their work. It makes a nice piece, but leaves one wondering where the inspiration comes from. ~ Gee.

My poetic teacher once told me
so I converted it into her poetry
She did not live long enough

lived across the HUDSON
