I am the "humbler poet,"
Humble in words and humble in thought.
I pen in a simple way,
Whether ever to be read, or not.
Who is to say what is pleasing?
Who is to judge what is trite?
The greatest poet on earth might be
A man never taught to write.
Excerpt from the poem AVOCATION by
Joan Tenner
(She is "The Humbler Poet.")
