The Accidental Poet


This poet was born,
not from an urge to create
high literature.

The essence of life
drawn in compact form and style
found expression.

No pretensions here
only a cry from the heart
of an injured soul.

Many great writers are born from tragedy and hardship. Note the word great! That's what your poems are.
