Oh poet who am I,

Oh poet who am I, Based on the Internet Research

You all ask today
Google all world's poets
So many haven’t been read
Ages since they passed away,
Most of their poetry remained uncommented.
What about mine!
I need say,
Still many read me and comment every day
And
You say poet who!

The world’s best six poets
Left a legacy of about eight thousand poetry,
I alone have composed over five
And you say poet who!

Hold your horses
I make no claim,
A poet who is my anonymous name
Poet who? I.

AND I AM NOT ALONE.... MANY THINK THEY ARE GOD's CHOOSEN FEW.

that is only perception, not always the truth. what people may think they are, is just in their minds. only someone standing on the outside can see weather they deserve to be labeled with this or that name. Being humble is the most important thing in life. if i can be seen in that light then I have truly acomplished a true center in my moment on earth.
Keep going your thoughts are carrying you home.

The way is there and you know how to find it. My help is really you helping yourself. I am only standing here watching. This is the road we travel on, to dcided how long we travel together is ours. So who is helping whom. I see it as each other, I take what I need and you take what you need. We feed each other so as to continue.
Eddie,
I live in this moment, and tomorrow will just be tomorrow.
Good bad or great, let's live it and savor the moment.

that those 8000 poems represent the best of their best. Probably ten times that number went to their proper destiny, the flames. And those six were the Greats.

Quantity is not and has never been quality.

cheers,
