POETIC PATHS

POETIC PATHS

Ok ok I admit it
Poetically I'm an infant
Toddling down halls of words
Spoken by the greats

Treading timorously on
The penned stage of the acclaimed
Those Poet laureates of our time
And the Giants that came before

Perhaps now barely more than a crawl
I attempt pinnacles of versification
From the tongues of the masters
Words smiths of old

I will not forsake these rhyme strewn roads
Thorny with ire these paths of pith
Rocky with fact and drollery
Though mired in verbiage

But I have to say my feet hurt

Hello John, I truly like this piece
It invokes a lot of thought

Just keep on walking this road
You'll make it, even the greats were invisible once, you have to want to stand out from the crowd ,

Much love to you, and merry Christmas

Thank you for you encouragement and kind words.
My enjoyment much more the journey than the arrival I oft times find my self entranced perhaps fixated by a scene or a person along this path. Sometimes fear I lose sight of the destination while . Other times I assure my self the act of pursuit is a destination. I believe these master wordsmiths to be accidental not intended though not intention none the less welcomed this worlds aclaim. 
Forgive me my wife says I ramble, it’s nice to have met another traveler on the verbaled path.
i am off to peruse those thought proffered by my fellow travelers.
again all above to say thank for noticing I passed this way

You are kind and I do appreciate your comments.
Travelers met on these paths of pith are all the more important because of the shared verbal miles, glorious and torturous as they may be, we have followed in the footsteps of the greats.
