The Poetess

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



I know you are afraid to show
The world your poetry,
But I believe they ought to know
Your poet imagery!

I know you share poetic words
Through internet pathways,
But there are some who've never heard
Your poems can amaze!

I know you are not sure about
Your poems in a book.
And yet, I hope to ease all doubt;
Please take another look!
