Love Poem: I Stand

I Stand

I could sit here and write crap all day
and some self-proclaimed pontificator
would criticize it
for the drivel it is
or
love it,
and call it Poetry.

Open-ended…
Free verse…
Just other names for 
“Got No Talent”
and no sense of rhythm or rhyme
 but 
beloved by those 
who adore disjointed thought
and random word.

Yes, I am great,
for I stand on a rock and shout
so all the world may hear
my prolific
poetic words.

And because I 
catch the eye 
of
One Who Is Heard,
who has access 
to grant money 
or
others who self-proclaim,
I am suddenly,
eternally,
a Poet.
