Am I, the only one
Who lifts
not men
but hopes
who travels
not alone
but helps all to cope
who composes
not knowing woman
nor woe
nor recognition?
am I the only one
about on the Internet
read by so many
why? Ask them
Am I the only one

Really, dear Loved, the only one?
Nothing in this qualifies you as the only one. I am sorry if you are feeling lonely.

If so please help promote Neopoet there, we badly need new members.

I like the poem, but can't help wondering if Am I would be better than I am.
It makes it less of a statement and more of a rhetorical question
Just wondering. Jxx

Really loved - this whole poem is waffle *big smile*
you can do better than this egocentric dribble *bigger smile*
How about a title change to fit this condensed version that is minus the me me.....
Who lifts
not men
but hopes
who travels
not alone
but helps all to cope
who composes
not knowing woman
nor woe
nor recognition?
Up to you of course .... all in my opinion only
love judy

It is comments like this, Judy
that make me wish Neopoet had a 'like' feature, like Facebook. You said everything that needs to be said about this poem.

Loved
I guess you realise that the above are right, and I think you are much better and long enough in the tooth to know better.
We will wait to read your next piece as all read yours hoping that you will bring once again a great piece of writing to the stream,
Yours as always Ian..

Give critique to help keep Neopoet great.
Unconditional love to you all.

Yours as always, Ian.T, Sparrow, and Yenti
