Ah! You Comfort Me (Ed...Rottie)

You are the soul of a poet
I can only kneel before you
as you are a real poet

Poetry for me
is just an expression
of thought love and emotion
as these go hand in hand

Some like it others can
many digest it they can't
so I keep my pace
in the rat race

I don't participate
as I'm one of my own kind
unique hope all don't mind

my love is universal
it's for the asking
where on the earth
do we have humans basking

in the glory of victory for long
no one will know us
when we are gone

The ego survives
all human beings
devours some one like me
so I don't really worry
as long as I 'm read
people will still continue
once I am dead

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

My style of poetry since 6 decades now ingrained Read softly please

I read this three times. I am getting used to your style now. I like the poem but still have a stumble when you have so many different numbers of lines in a stanza. Here you have 2,1,4,2,2,2,1,4,3,3,2,2.
Okay not counting the lone “And” in two places. This is the way I was able to read this as a smooth ride with no stumble, just my thoughts not a complaint. I will like this regardless. just joined some, moved the “and’s”, changed I’m to I am in very last line, leaving it a lone final line.
Just a thought! Loved it.

Pegasus was a genius,
living within a suit of difference.
He liked what he was,
nodded in respect and
simply flew . . . away.
