I Am a Sensitive Person

My favorite is this one by Countee Cullen:

Incident

Incident
Once riding in old Baltimore,
Heart-filled, head-filled with glee,
I saw a Baltimorean
Keep looking straight at me.

Now I was eight and very small,
And he was no whit bigger,
And so I smiled, but he poked out
His tongue, and called me, 'Nigger.'

I saw the whole of Baltimore
From May until December;
Of all the things that happened there
That's all that I remember.

by Countee Cullen

I love poetry I'm much to afraid to share anything I have written but I love to read others work. And even if I don't share just writing brings me such joy and satisfaction

Does it matter if anyone else appreciates poetry? I don't appreciate it, I appreciate that you've been doing something you love for 40 odd years that's what life's about!

I love poetry! I love that it can have structure, but it doesn't have to and you can just write what you please. What kind of poetry do you read and write?

Was it mary had a little lamb tear jerker!!!

Poetry gets me through life
