To All Beginning Poets

You may get to read at the inauguration But the chance of that is miniscule Perhaps you dream of great loves Perhaps you dream of utopia Take advice from those who are reading you You will learn that your words can build edifices of hope inside the minds of untold thousands

The beginnings of a great poem starts in the heart, not the mind. You must seek the words inside you and let them flow out of you, uncensored and on-the-spot. That's how it works me anyhow. Another good one!

i like the encouragement in your poem, although i think that "thousands" is a bit of wishful thinking...
