Points to Ponder

AS YOU READ MY POEMS
You''re my "audience of one."
I hope to hold you captive
From the moment you''ve begun.

But, alas, it''s for you to decide
If staying is worth your while.
Will you decide I bore you
Or will you like my style?

Perhaps the subjects covered
Will draw you back again,
Curious to see what truths I see
In the rhymes that I have penned.

These are but lessons I have learned,
Many that I feel should not be spurned.
You may applaud or disagree,
And, without repercussion, take issue with me.

I beg you to enter with an open mind,
Taking time to think through and digest.
Discard what, to you, does not apply
But linger o''er what you deem best.

And, if there''s but one you can pass along ,
''Twill serve to fill my heart with song.
