Page after page; leaf after leaf,
Poems are penned; thought provoking,
Cognitively interesting.
We offer friends with praise and recognition.
We touch their egos with proddings.
We build their pride and self-esteem
Self-assurance echoes their confidence.
We give them stars and gavels
As merits and rewards; In
Their earnest quest for a name.
This forum of poets and critics.
Thrusting dagger of words
Seizing pleasure and enjoyment
Approving with zestful amusement.
Poems are subjects to a reviewer's stand
Delving the poet's rhetoric pulse and stance
Free flowing, rhyming and in metric sense
The moods of poets in countenance resound.
